Miss Butterworth first appeared as a character in a novel read by one of the Bridgerton siblings. Her story became a joke throughout "It's in His Kiss" (and the title makes an appearance!). This book absolutely delivers the wild and funny plot line mentioned throughout Hyacinth's book, including mad pigeons plucking eyes out.
This is a really fun read for anyone who enjoyed the sporadic mentions in the Bridgerton book! Go into this with an open mind knowing it's supposed to be entirely ridiculous and based on early 1800s/1900s serialized dramas published and enjoy yourself.

Graphic: Death, Death of parent, and Gore
While the story deals with death and gore in a funny way. There is an in memoriam at the end of the novel that addresses the death of Julia Quinn's father and sister. Violet Charles, Quinn's sister, illustrated and wrote this graphic novel.
