In a brutal
snowstorm, Hero and Alexi Sauvage travel to Clerkenwell to visit an
expectant mother whose husband was impressed into the navy.
Returning, Hero slips and falls into a snowbank. To her horror she
has fallen on the body of a young woman she recognizes. The body is
that of Jane Ambrose, piano teacher to Princess Charlotte, the
Regent’s daughter.
The palace wants to
quash any investigation that comes close Princess Charlotte, but that
doesn’t deter St. Cyr and his wife, Hero. The hunt is on with many
suspects and a dearth of clues.
I love this series.
Impeccable historical research brings the Regency to life. I
particularly enjoyed the note at the end detailing the historical
incidents that led Harris to develop the story.
The characters are
some of my favorites. Hero is a strong woman who is determined to
lead the life she chooses. Luckily, St. Cyr is supportive and they
make an excellent team. I was a little disappointed to see so little
of the Earl of Hendon and Jarvis, Hero’s powerful father. The
mystery of St. Cyr’s birth is a thread running through the series
that keeps me coming back.
If you enjoy well
written historical mysteries based on actual incidents, I think
you’ll enjoy this series.
I received this book
from Net Galley for this review.
