This book is roller coaster of well-written emotions. A mystery and love story, mixed with horrifying and sobering depictions of the circumstances women and girls endured in Regency England.

I love me an historical fiction novel, and an adventure and anything where the protagonist is a middle aged unmarried woman who still has agency and life in her. Gus and Julia are true equals with their own strengths rather than falling back on the genius and sidekick trope in many mysteries. I really enjoyed this, funny and entertaining with a mystery to be solved in the next book!

An obviously well-researched historical novel with a long, rambling plot. Enjoyable, but I admit I didn't  understand why there were quite so many plotpoints.

A brilliant regency read with a most unusual and endearing female lead. Loved Lady Augusta's adventures and troubles and am waiting with bated breath for the next book to come out!

I really loved this! Bridgerton but make it feminist, slow-burn, and about a wild spinster who doesn't take crap and her sweet twin sister.
