Pepper Basham’s story of a fiction-loving heroine and her remarkable husband was a wonderfully fun and exciting read. The combination of mystery, murder, mayhem and romance made this a hard book to put down. I eagerly read this well written and exciting story and was so sad when it ended.
Gracelynn Ferguson joyously embraces life and is the consternation of her proper socialite mother. Grace envisions herself leading an adventurous life, solving crimes like her fictional hero, Sherlock Holmes. Marrying a man is not in her near future unless she can find someone who is her equal. Her outspoken and enthusiastic nature is contagious and her drivenness to find answers made me feel like I was right alongside her. The funny and daring exploits she finds herself in had me whooping with laughter as she tries to foil a villainous plan.
Lord Frederick Percy had reluctantly resigned himself to his mother’s expectations and settling down with a demure lady while running his family’s estate. What a fortuitous and unexpected turn of events for Frederick when he finds himself married to Gracelynn instead of her well-groomed, quiet sister. He was much more suited for Grace, and she for him, as they brought out the very best in each other.
I am really hoping this is just the beginning of a new series of books with Gracelynn and Frederick as they are an unstoppable dynamic duo in thwarting evil schemes. I highly recommend this book for lovers of romantic adventure, humor, as well as mysteries.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic advanced reader copy of this amazing book. I was not required to write this review; all opinions expressed are my own.
