Resumen del Editor

An intrepid female reporter matches wits with a serious, sexy detective in an award-winning author's fun and flirty historical rom-com, perfect for fans of Evie Dunmore, Julia Quinn, and Tessa Dare!

England, 1865: Newspaper columnist Lady Katherine Bascomb finds herself the subject of speculation when her latest article leads to an arrest in the murders plaguing London. The English believe women ought not to write about such vulgar things as crime, and a particularly attractive detective inspector is incensed that she's interfered with his investigation. To escape her sudden notoriety, Katherine heads to the country - only to witness a murder upon her arrival.

Detective Inspector Andrew Eversham is appalled when Lady Katherine entangles herself in one of his cases - again. Her sensationalist reporting already nearly got him kicked off the police force, and he'll be damned if he permits her to meddle a second time. Yet, her questions are awfully insightful, and he can't deny his attraction to both her beauty and brains. As the clues point to a dangerous criminal, the two soon realize their best option is working together. But with their focus on the killer lurking in the shadows, neither is prepared for the other risk the case poses - to their hearts.

"When I pick up a Manda Collins book, I know I'm in for a treat. With compelling characters and a rich Victorian setting, A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem weaves mystery and romance into one enthralling tale."—Tessa Dare, New York Times bestselling author

"[Manda] Collins is a delight! I read A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem waaay past my bedtime, absorbed by its spot-on period detail, the well-crafted characters, and of course the intriguing mystery. Brava!"—Elizabeth Hoyt, New York Times bestselling author

"Mystery, romance and an indomitable heroine make for a brisk, compelling read."—Madeline Hunter, New York Times bestselling author

Enchanting mystery-romance

I love the merging of my two favorite genres. The author must be a MFM fan! (There were too many parallels to ignore the inspiration from Georgia and Karen and Elvis)! The story was enjoyable without being overly graphic in the crime or romance department. I hope there is a second story in the series where the story of Val an Caro will be explored. 😊

Totally fun!!!

I enjoyed this playful story that has a multi class relationship and a fun mystery starring a very smart female lead. Good laughs, lightly playful and some reminders of how far women have come.

Smart exciting leading lady

How can a narrator change voices so easily? I truly enjoyed this narrator's portrayal of multiple characters. story does not disappoint! Great listen!

Excellent from start to finish

Great story, wonderful narrator, wish this was a series. I would enjoy another bunch of stories for them to share!

Excellent! Story and narration.

Great story and superb narration.
Well developed & likable characters all while providing an intriguing who done it. Perfect pacing as each person and their back stories were introduced and developed. Of course, I love a smart, strong female lead and a real man who can love her as she is.

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The voice was quite enjoyable. I will be listening to other books by this author AND the reader.

Pretty Fun

This was a quick and fairly light read, given the murder mystery subject matter. It’s a romance book and there is a little spice in it. While this book was a pretty good read, it just wasn’t my cup of tea. It was fun to listen to though, albeit a little cringy at times.

Great Mystery Historical Romance

Great (multiple!) female representation with wit and charm. Romantic leads that manage to stay true to the times without any of the nastier tropes of historical romance. 10/10 would recommend. The narrator did a great job as well and I was engaged throughout the story.

I Want More!

I loved everything about this book and I really hope it will become a series, with the next installment to be released soon.
