Perfect for you if...

You enjoy historical mysteries with clever heroines who break the rules and don't apologise for it.
You love witty banter and satirical jabs at Regency social conventions, especially around marriage and propriety.
You want cosy mystery with genuine laughs and food-related chaos (yes, there's a soup incident).

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your Regency romances to focus primarily on the love story rather than the mystery plot.
You find exaggerated characters and tongue-in-cheek humour tiresome rather than charming.
You want gritty, realistic crime investigations rather than a lighter, comedic take on murder.

About this book

Miss Beatrice Hyde-Clare, a six-and-twenty-year-old orphan living on her relatives' charity, has little prospect of marriage. At an elegant country house party, she intends to remain quiet and unobtrusive—despite her irritation with the Duke of Kesgrave's presence. When Beatrice discovers the body of a fellow houseguest, her plans change. Though the magistrate rules it a suicide, she suspects otherwise. Determined to uncover the truth, she abandons proper behavior to investigate the death herself. This is the first book in the Beatrice Hyde-Clare Mysteries series.
