Publisher's summary

A reckless Victorian heiress sets her sights on a dashing ex-naval lieutenant, determined to win his heart as the two of them embark on a quest to solve a decades-old mystery in USA Today best-selling author Mimi Matthews' sequel to her critically acclaimed novels The Work of Art and Gentleman Jim.

Lieutenant Charles Heywood has had his fill of adventure. Battle-weary and disillusioned, he returns to England, resolved to settle down to a quiet, uneventful life on an estate of his own. But arranging to purchase the property he desires is more difficult than Charles ever imagined. The place is mired in secrets, some of which may prove deadly. If he’s going to unravel them, he’ll need the assistance of someone as daring as he is.

At only 20, Lady Katherine Beresford has already earned a scandalous reputation. As skilled with pistols as she is on horseback, she’s never met an obstacle she can’t surmount—or a man she can’t win. That is, until she encounters the infuriatingly somber Lieutenant Heywood. But Kate refuses to be deterred by the raven-haired soldier’s strong, silent facade. After all, faint heart never won handsome gentleman.

From the wilds of rural Somersetshire to the glittering ballrooms of early-Victorian London, Charles and Kate embark on a cross-country quest to solve a decades’ old mystery. Will the greatest danger be to their hearts—or to their lives?

Another fantastic story by Mimi Mathews!!

Mimi brings together both families from A Work of Art and Gentlemen Jim in this fantastic story brought to life with Alex Windham. Alex is one of the best readers out there! I HIGHLY recommend this series!!

A Cozy Book with Old Friends and New

I adore Mimi Matthews and the world she has created in Somerset! “Return to Satterthwaite Court” is an absolute gem of a book. I loved every moment of it, especially her take on Kate the heroine. Alex Wyndham was a perfect narrator as always. He should read all of your books. Highly recommend!

Loved this sequel!

The mystery and developing love story kept me hooked the whole time!
The narrators male voices are wonderful the female voices not so much. Haha

Meh.

First time I’ve not been enamored with ms Matthew’s characters. I liked the “work of art” book about Charles’ parents, Kate and Charles just weren’t that compelling.

Family Bonds

Great story! I loved both Kate and Charles! But I’d say my favorite was all the family dynamics♥️ I loved the camaraderie of Kate and her brothers, but also Charles tenderness and kindness towards his sister. The interaction with both sets of parents was fabulous. It’s just an all-around good story looking so forward to the next one.

Nothing to complain about here

Well written and audibly executed. Drama not overdone, and characters that were both believable and admirable. So many stories classified as “romance” are confused with sex. This one was purely romance.

A favorite.

It was a good story with a mystery. I loved the descriptions of gowns. My favorite narrator.

Another incredible book by Mimi Matthews

Another incredible book by Mimi Matthews. This one was especially delightful as we get to spend quality time with the parents of Charles and Kate. I have loved this series so much, so it was pure joy to meet up again with them.

Charles and Kate are both such believable results of the union of each set of parents… Particularly Kate!

I really hope there will be several more stories to tell in this delightful series. I already know that Ivo’s story is coming in the very near future because I have already pre-ordered it. But I am hopefully anticipating that a story might yet be told about James and Hannah.

You can absolutely never miss with a story by Mimi Matthews. In addition, she always seems to find the best narrators for the audible version. I have enjoyed this book in both the Kindle version, and in Audible by the inimitable Alex Wyndham.

A bit short

I love Mimi Matthews and eagerly anticipated this book even pre-ordered it. Unfortunately, it’s my least favorite of all her books. Most of it felt contrived. I’m so disappointed. Alex Wyndham and his delectable narration saved this for me. Even so, It was admittedly hard to get through.

Awesome book.

So very good. I wished for more like this. How about Hannah’s
and James’ Romance ?
