Why aren't the regency romances being published today required to have half of the regency feel of this series? They'd be better books with better characterization if they were. Captain Lacey is a half-pay officer from an estate that sound like a gone-to-seed Longbourne. He doesn't have enough money to live well but he does have friends who allow him some comforts. Like all amateur detectives, crimes just seem to happen when he's in the vicinity. and through these crimes we get a glimpse of the dark side of the Regency and more importantly how  the high life interacts and abets the low.
