3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars for NetGalley and Goodreads.
I really enjoyed this Regency England mystery with a female lead character. Mrs Foregerton, though not the main character, has to be my favorite. She's so unapologetically herself and entirely supportive of Caroline. She's so refreshing in such a 'historical' setting.
The mystery bit was maybe not as in your face as some might want. A big chunk of this book is about Caroline's relationship with her sister, but I personally enjoyed it. The mystery part was also well crafted and puzzling enough for me.
Loved it.
Thank you to NetGalley, Kensington Publishing, and Catherine Lloyd for providing me with an ARC.
