Once again great writing and a great feel for the time period. I just love that this series has a bit of everything mixed into the story. There's always a mystery to be solved, some romance brewing and a sprinkle of paranormal.
In this book Audrey, The Duchess of Fournier is at her country home and stumbles upon the body of her friend Charlotte. She calls for Hugh Marsden, the Bow Street Detective to come and investigate. She feels something is not right and her friend would not commit suicide. Audrey again finds herself alongside Hugh in helping him to investigate this startling case.
I'm enjoying this series and will continue with the next book. I'm anticipating the next mystery and the tension is building with Hugh and Audrey. I'm excited to find out if they will ever end up together.

Miss Miranda has been in love with her best friend’s older brother since she was 10 years old. She keeps a diary of her thoughts and thinks there will never be a chance for them to be together.

The writing is really good and captures the Regency time period really well! This story has a bit of everything. Historical Fiction with a mystery and a dash of paranormal with a sprinkle of romance.
The story starts off really strong. A member of the ton...a Duke in fact is found in a shady area of London known as, "The Seven Dials" with a dead opera singer in the bed. He's immediately arrested for murder. His Duchess (Audrey) believes wholeheartedly that he is not guilty and she clashes with the arresting Bow Street Runner Officer (Hugh.). Audrey starts investigating on her own to prove her husband's innocence. Hugh reluctantly begins to go along with her. There is an undercurrent of attraction on both sides but the story is primarily a mystery.
This is the first book in a new mystery series featuring the Duchess. She continues to run into the Bow Street Runner while trying to solve crimes as an amateur sleuth who has a secret. I think fans of the PBS show, "Miss Scarlet and the Duke" (which I love) would really enjoy this series.
