Welcome to Litsy!

Regency mystery, 1st in Captain Lacey series. I enjoy another series by this author - Below Stairs/Kat Holloway - written under another pen name, but wasn't sure what to expect from this one. I really liked it and will likely continue the series, which has nearly 20 books in it. My TBR just grows exponentially!

This is the look I am giving this book. Too many historical slips, too much purple prose, 24% DNF. I need to find a better series of #regencyromance for comfort!
Suggestions?

It‘s been a while since I read anything in this series, and I think I need to correct that. I‘ve read seven books in this series, about half. Captain Lacey, an injured veteran of the Napoleonic campaigns, is a fascinating character who finds himself solving mysteries. The more I think about it, the more I think I need to read the next book soon.

#couldntputitdown I've gotten hooked on Ashley Gardner's Captain Lacey mysteries. Yes, I'm a sucker for historical mysteries, but these have great characters and interesting plot twists.

This a good, not great, Regency mystery. Captain Lacey is delightfully broken and the mystery was equally developed. Supporting characters need work and the ending felt rushed. However, I'm looking forward to the next in the series to see if improvements have been made.
