England, 1867: As half of the writing duo behind Englands most infamous crime column, Miss Caroline Hardcastle has quite the scandalous reputation. It may have cost her a fianc, but she would much rather bring attention to crimes against those ignored by society than worry about what the ton thinks of her. After Caros dear friend is kidnapped, however, she has no choice but to work with Lord Valentine Thorn, the same man who broke her heart. Worse, when her actions put her fathers business at risk, a marriage of convenience may be her only solution . . . but can she trust Val to stand by her? Or will their past repeat itself? Valthe new Viscount Wrackhamis in an untenable position: His father is demanding he find a respectable bride to secure the succession.

As they grow closer to unmasking the culprit, Val sees an opportunity to show Caro hes a changed man. But can he convince her to give their love a second chancebefore death does them part?

This book and the series so far can only be described as delightful. Interesting characters and stories. Also this narrator has become one of my favorites, she just so good! 🎧

Finished this one last night. It was a fun historical mystery/romance. It‘s been a while since I read the first one but I think that was more mystery than romance. This one was definitely more romance than mystery. It was still good and I really liked Val and Caro. I‘m excited for the next one!

This a good sequel, & I‘m glad there will be another one. The plot is a mystery and romance. Feminist characters and a story that doesn‘t make you think too much. And Ludwig the grumpy cat is back! Just what I needed.

A sweet book that tried to do too much. It wanted to be a mystery and a romance and I think that made it less of either.
