An Invitation to Murder by Harmony Williams, Leighann Dobbs
4.0
Lady Katherine Irvine has wagered her father that she can solve a crime before her 25th birthday. Alas, time is running short and, should she fail, he will retain control of her dowry. In order to gain her independence, she must find the murderer who uses pink ribbons to strangle his victims.
I've never been terribly fond of the Regency era so it's to the authors' credit that I remained as invested in this story as I did. Dobbs & Williams have brought an interesting heroine to life, imbued her with an intriguing backstory, and granted her accomplices who enhance her character by being unusual themselves. As a detective, Katherine is a neophyte who scrambles around desperately looking for a clue to the murderer's identity. She allowed many distractions to draw her away from her target, but in the end, she did succeed - a feat surely worthy of praise.
