Summary

Jane Austen meets Sherlock Holmes in this new Regency mystery series

Newly returned from finishing school, Lady Juliette Thorndike is ready to debut in London society. Due to her years away, she hasn't spent much time with her parents, and sees them only as the flighty, dilettante couple the other nobles love. But when they disappear, she discovers she never really knew them at all. They've been living double lives as government spies - and they're only the latest in a long history of espionage that is the family's legacy.

Now Lady Juliette is determined to continue their work. Mentored by her uncle, she plunges into the dangerous world of spy craft. From the glittering ballrooms of London to the fox hunts, regattas, and soirees of country high society, she must chase down hidden clues, solve the mysterious code her parents left behind, and stay out of danger. All the while, she has to keep her endeavors a secret from her best friend and her suitors - not to mention nosy, irritatingly handsome Bow Street runner Daniel Swann, who suspects her of a daring theft.

Can Lady Juliette outwit her enemies and complete her parents' last mission? Or will it lead her to a terrible end?

Religious overtones

A good mystery novel with excellent narration. I was irritated by the heroine checking that what she was doing was OK with her god. People were more religious in those days but these instances of checking were superfluous to the story.
Audible should advise when there are religious themes.

Kept me interested and involved

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the story was very engaging the whole way through. The narrator was excellent. Although there were some mentions about God, It was not overdone and I do not feel it detracted from the story. I hope there is a follow-up to this story as I would love to know more about the life of the main characters.
