Helpful Score: 1
Julian Kestrel is an incredible protagonist and slueth introduced in this first book in this sadly all too short series. The author died way too young and too soon, each book was getting better and she was truly hitting her stride so there is no telling what journeys she would have taken Kestrel and the readers on. But we do have the four marvelous books that should be enjoyed and the word passed on to read this series. If you have enjoyed other Regency era mystery series such as Hannah March, T. F. Banks, C. S. Harris, Deanna Raybourn, Tasha Alexander and especially Ashley Gardners Captain Lacey then this series is a must read!
This Regency Mystery reminds me of an Agatha Christie novel. The mystery is excellent and the writing is excellent. Ms. Ross completed 4 in the series before she passed away. These books will be keepers for me to re-read.
