Review: A Delightful Regency Romp!
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book is a ton of fun - sort of Georgette Heyer meets Agatha Christie. The usual Regency comedy of manners, love misplaced, people in the wrong bedrooms, and desire restrained by propriety dominates the first section of the book as two couples prove that the course of true love never runs smoothly. After a particularly gruesome murder (which eliminates a thoroughly undesirable character) the book proceeds in the best manner of Christie as one of the minor characters steps into the spotlight and takes on the role of sleuth and proceeds to question each suspect and write down all possible scenarios. I normally can figure out who done it, but this ending took me by surprise. Everything about this book was very satisfying to this Regency crazy cat lady. I am looking forward to the author's next book.
