Good ol' frothy fun. This mimicked, in some ways, the structure of some Golden Era mystery novels (especially Ngai Marsh), where the majority of the book is just a sleuth interviewing suspects. Not always my favorite choice, to be honest, but I liked how the interviews were occasionally interspersed with flashbacks, revealing that our protagonists know more than they're letting on. The romance is still annoying and drawn out between Charlotte and Ingram; there's miscommunication trope, and then there is miscommunication trope that lasts FOUR BOOKS. Also, the resolution to some of the bigger plot elements was way too quick. But I really just read these books as brain candy, and it was fun, so there it is.

4.5 stars? I love Lady Sherlock. My only complaints about these books are the number of POVs and characters, it gets a bit confusing if you haven't read the rest in awhile. But overall this was a good read. Part of the overarching mystery at least somewhat, but a good isolated mystery (a murder! on a boat!). Also SO happy to see Livia finally stand up to her mother!!
