And Dangerous to Know
And Dangerous to Know | Darcie Wilde
4 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
When the ladies of the ton of Regency London need discreet assistance, they turn to Rosalind Thorne—in these mysteries inspired by the novels of Jane Austen . . . Trust is a delicate thing, and no one knows that better than Rosalind Thorne. Lady Melbourne has entrusted her with recovering a packet of highly sensitive private letters stolen from her desk. The contents of these letters hold great interest for the famous poet Lord Byron, who had carried on a notorious public affair with Lady Melbourne's daughter-in-law, the inconveniently unstable Lady Caroline Lamb. Rosalind is to take up residence in Melbourne House, posing as Lady Melbourne's confidential secretary. There, she must discover the thief and regain possession of the letters before any further scandal erupts. However, Lady Melbourne omits a crucial detail. Rosalind learns from the Bow Street runner, Adam Harkness, that an unidentified woman was found dead in the courtyard of Melbourne House. The coroner has determined she was poisoned. Adam urges Rosalind to use her new position in the household to help solve the murder. As she begins to untangle a web of secrets and blackmail, Rosalind finds she must risk her own life to bring the desperate business to an end . . .

I greatly enjoyed the book! Went in thinking this was a historical cozy, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was a historical mystery series. I was really only bothered by 2 things; more about her father, her mother, and her sister (coming into the series a few in, I really couldn‘t follow along) and I strongly dislike romantic triangles (I understand why she‘s torn, but hope they wrap this up quickly as we all know who she‘ll pick).

While I didn‘t enjoy this quite as much as the first two books on this series, it was quite an involved mystery that kept me guessing. The plot had so many twists. It also sent me down the research road, as Lady Caroline Lamb is a character, and Lord Byron is important to the plot, even though he doesn‘t appear as a character. Rosalind Thorne is such a fascinating character. I look forward to the next book in the series.

IrishColleen I love the ones that are interesting enough to make me want to know more! 5y

I had forgotten that I‘d preordered the next Rosalind Thorne mystery until it appeared on my Kindle this morning. I‘m excited to read this, since I love the main character, but my TBR is just crazy! Plus, I have succumbed to too many BookBub Kindle deals. But that way hubby doesn‘t know how many books I‘ve bought 😊
