Lady Katherine Regency Mysteries Series, Book 1

De: Leighann Dobbs, Harmony Williams

Narrado por: Beverley A. Crick

To stop a high-society killer, she'll have to play matchmaker one last time....

Lady Katherine would rather chase clues than suitors. Her reputation as a matchmaker could give her the cover she needs to follow in her detective father's footsteps. If she catches the Pink Ribbon Killer before he strikes again, she'll win her dowry and her independence in the process....

One look through the exclusive Northbrooke estate house party doubles her suspect list. With the help of her trusty maid and her precocious pug, Katherine risks it all to unmask the killer. But is winning her freedom worth putting another debutante in mortal danger?

Cute, cozy mystery

This was a very relaxing and entertaining story. It’s also a very fast read. I did have to turn the speed down almost immediately on starting the story. I liked the dog Emma for another facet of this story.

Meh

It’s ok, not great. Lady Katherine, Harriet and Lyle have the makings of endearing characters, but just aren’t quite compelling enough

An Invitation to Disbelief

This story has a major problem, the author has no clue about the sexual mores of English High Society.
Debutante 's are being killed and they are having affairs with Lord's.
17 and 18 year old girls go straight from the school room to Society Balls for the sole reason of finding a husband.
I cannot see how a Debutante can get away from supervision long enough to have a sexual encounter with a experienced male. Add to that I doubt she would have the panache to be able to meet her lover in public with or without his wife and not become flustered.
This book is the type of story that I hate. A story that the writer did not research and the Editor did not flag a having a problem.

Meh

I think it could have been better if the narrator have it more life. Or maybe it was the writing. Either way, I was bored.

Interesting Heroine

Good story and excellent performance. The story and characters held my interest, and now I’m going to see if there are future books with the same characters .
