Thank you so much Netgalley for the review copy. All opinions are my own and are not influenced in any way.

When I requested this book for review, I didn't realize this was a part of a series and that too the 6th book! So I was quite skeptical about the plotline since I would be missing 5 books worth of it. Turns out, it's not actually a series and like any murder mystery novel, it's following our detectives and deals with different cases.
.
First of all, the plot of this book was really interesting and I have to give kudos to the author for the placement of the events that gave a really good vibe! I am a huge fan of murder mysteries and I was surprised at times by the way the scenes were described or the way the flow of the story went !
.
Second of all, can we just talk about the writing and the ending? Not to spoil, but I think I am going to start with the first book and read every single book in the series to satisfy my little brain and give me some hangover cure! But that doesn't mean it wans't quite predictable at times and few characters were very cliche.
.
Overall, this book had an amazing amount of gripping effect, the plotline was amazing, the way the story flowed was really good and the characters were all needed whenever they were and not just over used. If you are a fan of murder mysteries or not, I definitely recommend reading this book to just enjoy the feel of it !

I was already a fan of Erica Ridley since I had read few of her books when I requested this book. When I read the blurb, it really intrigued me and made me want to read this book so much that I requested it.
.
This book follows our main characters, the socially awkward Duke of Azureford and the quick witted hoyden Miss Carol. The first thing I loved about this was the character traits assigned to the main characters. I have read a lot of historical romances and this book definitely stands one step above the usual cliche characters and the way they communicate. Carol is quick to determine what she wants in life and is really determined to make things work in her favour. And the Duke is just an absolute sweetheart who is absolutely smitten ( but can't recognize that himself ) and is ready to learn from Carol on how he should behave.
.
The second is obviously the story telling style and the way this plot progressed. There are a lot of moments where the decisions of the characters doe not lead to more drama but just expresses what they actually want is quite refreshing to read about. I was so used to the historical romances etiquette that this was quite a fresh breath. It is no the most uncommon thing in these books by any means, but this just surprised me because of my previous reads.
.
Overall, if you are a fan of historical fiction or romance or just quirky characters in a book who knows what they want and is confident in expressing their opinions, definitely give this a try! This series is not a continuous series but a collection that follows different characters based on the previous books.
