11 posts | 10 read | 4 to read
Wrexford and Sloane must unravel secrets within secretsincluding a few that entangle their own heartswhen they reunite to solve a string of shocking murders that have horrified Regency London . . . Though Charlotte Sloanes secret identity as the controversial satirical cartoonist A.J. Quill is safe with the Earl of Wrexford, shes ill prepared for the rippling effects sharing the truth about her background has cast over their relationship. She thought a bit of space might improve the situation. But when her cousin is murdered and his twin brother is accused of the gruesome crime, Charlotte immediately turns to Wrexford for help in proving the young mans innocence. Though she finds the brooding scientist just as enigmatic and intense as ever, their partnership is now marked by an unfamiliar tension that seems to complicate every encounter. Despite this newfound complexity, Wrexford and Charlotte are determined to track down the real killer. Their investigation leads them on a dangerous chase through Mayfairs glittering ballrooms and opulent drawing rooms, where gossip and rumors swirl to confuse the facts. Was her cousin murdered over a romantic rivalry . . . or staggering gambling debts? Or could the motive be far darker and involve the clandestine scientific society that claimed both brothers as members? The more Charlotte and Wrexford try to unknot the truth, the more tangled it becomes. But they must solve the case soon, before the killers madness seizes another victim . . .

All of the favorite characters and a few new ones people this scientific murder mystery. A little too slap happy with Latin aphorisms but great fun.

Love this series, although I noticed that the author uses particular words/phrases A LOT and that got a little tiresome.

Sloane & Wrexford return for a 3rd time in this Regency London series to tackle the murder of a friend from Charlotte's past. A past she thought she'd left behind, & only if it's revealed can the murder be solved.
.
Once again I'm enjoying the scientific bent of the mysteries. This one centers on the voltaic piles (an early battery) and its dangers. I do so much like learning new things while being entertained. Quite the best of both worlds.

I read all the previous novels in this series so I was not sure if listening to this next installment on audio would be a positive experience. What I do miss is that there are so many literary allusions & when listening, I cannot note these with out stopping the audio which cannot be done in a car!

Cathythoughts I agree! I listen to a book on my daily walk. And I‘m often sorry I can‘t stop & make a note of something that strikes me ..... 4y

A real winner, one of the best Regency mysteries I‘ve read in a while. I love the main characters, but the cast of supporting characters is also interesting and quirky. This is the third book in this series, and I think it‘s gotten better with each one. There‘s also an interesting bit of science history here, too. The only problem is that this was released last week, so I have a wait for the next installment.

Another wonderful addition to one of my favorite series. This one finds Wrexford and Charlotte racing against time to save the life of the accused killer, and this one is very personal for Charlotte. While some of the subject matter surrounding the murders is gruesome, it is also interesting and well-researched by the author. 🔽🔽

robinb I also liked this one for two other reasons: Wrexford and Charlotte grow ever closer to admitting their feelings for one another and Charlotte struggles to make a very important, life-changing decision that involves stepping out of her comfort zone. I‘m excited (and a little apprehensive) to see what the ramifications of her decision will be in the next installment. 🔽🔽 (edited) 5y
robinb Well-written, wonderfully drawn characters (both main and secondary) and inventive and intriguing plot lines keep me coming back for more. 4/5⭐️
