“Pure unadulterated fun” (Publishers Weekly) for fans of Ashley Weaver, Deanna Raybourn, and Tasha Alexander, the Agatha Award–winning Countess of Harleigh Mysteries are a witty romp through the high society of Victorian England with a touch of romance, an independent female lead, and rich historical detail. In this charming historical mystery, Frances Wynn, the American-born Countess of Harleigh, finds her wedding day overshadowed by murder …
On the eve of her marriage to George Hazelton, Frances has a great deal more on her mind than flowers and seating arrangements. The Connors and the Bainbridges, two families of American robber barons, have taken up residence in London, and their bitter rivalry is spilling over into the highest social circles. At the request of her brother, Alonzo, who is quite taken with Miss Madeline Connor, Frances has invited the Connor family to her wedding. Meanwhile, Frances’s mother has invited Mr. Bainbridge, and Frances fears the nuptials may end up being newspaper-worthy for all the wrong reasons. On the day itself, Frances is relieved that Madeline’s father is not among the guests at the church. The reason, however, is most unfortunate: Mr. Connor is found murdered in his home. More shocking still, Alonzo is caught at the scene—holding the murder weapon. Powerful and ruthless, Connor appears to have amassed a wealth of enemies. Frances and George put their wedding trip on hold to try and clear Alonzo’s name. But there are secrets to sift through, not just in the feuding families, but also in their own. With a killer determined to evade discovery—even if it means taking another life—Frances’s newlywed days will be perilous indeed …

Parents- PG- middle grade and up read
Language: none that I remember
Violence: normal to genre - no overly graphic murder scenes
Sexual Content- kissing, some attraction, alluded to relationships but overall it's pretty tame
The narrator does a wonderful job with all the character differentiations and her acting skills are great.
Best one yet!

While the wedding went well, minus Mr. Connor attending in favor of some business, the reception was held at the Earl of Harleigh’s residence, where Frances once resided, which was next door to the Connor residence. What Frances should have feared was her brother Alonzo arguing with Viscount Daniel Fitzwalter, the heir to the Marquis of Sudley, a powerful and influential member of the House of Lords. Fitzwalter swore he had a marriage contract for Madeline Connor yet Alonzo wanted the opportunity to court her. Rumor had it that Fitzwalter had rung up a large amount of gambling debts that Connor would pay off with the marriage. Through the course of the luncheon and afternoon, several wedding guests went next door to the Connor household. When Fitzwalter swore he already had a contract, Alonzo and Madeline rushed next door to talk to her father. The butler walked in just as Alonzo had his hand on the knife in Connor’s body!
Promptly arrested and taken to jail, it was clear that George Hazelton would be Alonzo’s counsel and that George and Frances had a new case to investigate. Their wedding trip to Cannes would have to wait. Wedding guests were detained and statements taken. George and Frances had had their photos taken in the study where they had full view of the comings and goings at the Connor’s home, of which there were many. Now they needed to uncover more secrets than just murder but that of illicit affairs and friendships. And they needed to learn more about the lucrative business dealings of Mr. Connor, not always above board and often in direct conflict with Bainbridge.
It is always interesting to watch George and Frances investigate within the confines of Victorian English society. Large amounts of tea were consumed gathering clues and answers to the many riddles presented. The keen observations and sardonic wit of Dianne Freeman keep this historical mystery clever and light. I do hope the Hazeltons eventually get their wedding trip.
Fun, clever and light historical mystery
