In the world of regency or thereabouts romances and mysteries, most tend to be weakly plotted, repetitive and unsatisfying. This compelling Pevensey first installment is exactly the opposite. And I'm so grateful to have found it and to the talented author who wrote it. All the characters are interesting and too many had potential as the killer. I was even surprised as to who the victim was.
I do have to say, because the childhood playmates-to-lovers trope is such a turn-off to me, I expected to both dislike this story and to abandon finishing it. So I was additionally surprised it kept me interested with all its twists and suspicions surrounding the family I came to like and care about. I particularly liked eccentric and endearing Uncle Harold. I look forward to the next book in this excellent series and hope the author continues her deft way of portraying her characters and embroiling them in fascinating plots.
