The Sleeping Partner: A Sarah Tolerance Mystery by Madeleine E. Robins
4.0
The Sleeping Partner is the third, and the best so far, in Robins' Sarah Tolerance series. You could also jump in with this book if you felt like it, as it's a fairly self-contained story and past events are briefly recapped at the start.
It's a deliciously detailed and enthralling story of a 'fallen' woman who makes her living as a kind of private detective in a slightly alternate Regency period. The framing of the previous two books in the series sometimes seemed hesitant and like the world didn't entirely gel, but it feels like the author's hit her stride here.
I don't know if there are any plans for Sarah Tolerance #4, but I would very happily read it if there were.
