2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
Lord Julian Caldicott has come home from the war in ragged health and with a reputation in tatters. All he wants is to recuperate in private without bringing any further scandal on the family's good name. His godmother inveigles him into serving as her escort to a rural house party, whereupon circumstances conspire to prevent Julian from resuming his reclusive existence.Julian becomes the subject of rumors, lies, and whispers, and soon he's faced with a choice: Wage one more battle for honor's sake, or be branded a traitor to all that he holds dear. He will enlist unlikely allies, face old demons, and vex every other guest on the premises, but he will not stop until he's brought a criminal to justice--or died trying. (IS)

A Gentleman Fallen on Hard Times: The Lord Julian Mysteries--Book One | Grace Burrowes

Set in the early 1800's with most of the story taking place at a House Party, etiquette of that period in time is in abundance on every page. If you are an enthusiastic follower of this era then you are very likely to enjoy reading the Lord Julian Series. There were some characters that enhanced the story but it never really lived up to my expectations, I only really enjoyed the last 30 pages. This kind of novel though likeable wasn't for me.

This is first in an historical mystery series by a favorite historical romance author of mine. It centers around an aristocrat, Lord Julian Caldicott, who returned home from the war under whispered allegations of treason. After being captured by the French, losing his brother and his memory of key moments during that time, he is trying to fly below the radar for the sake of his family‘s honor and his own peace of mind.

As instances of mayhem begin to point in his direction as the instigator, he must decide if he will continue to be the brunt of society‘s disdain, or if he will fight to right his tattered reputation. I enjoyed this foray into mysteries from Burrowes. Lord Julian is a complex, interesting ⬇️ 1y

Dragon I enjoy her historical romances so stacking 💚🐉 1y
robinb @Dragon Me too! She‘s branching out a bit with mysteries (there‘s a Lady Violet Investigates series as well). This one had more hints of a “cozy” (no murders, mostly villainous hijinks). I‘m not a big fan of cozies, but I did enjoy this. 1y
Dragon Thanks 🙏 @robinb I forgot about the Lady Violet series 💚🐉 1y
