If she catches the Pink Ribbon Killer before he strikes again, she'll win her dowry and her independence in the process.

Foul language
- By Carolyn D Mitchell on 03-04-20
By: Lisa Jewell
Publisher's summary
It is every mama's dearest wish that her daughter marries well. But how to ensure that a seemingly earnest suitor is not merely a fortune hunter? Rosalind is involved in just such a case, discreetly investigating a client's prospective son-in-law, when she is drawn into another predicament shockingly close to home.
Rosalind's estranged father, Sir Reginald Thorne-a drunkard and forger-has fallen into the hands of the vicious scoundrel Russell Fullerton. Angered by her interference in his blackmail schemes, Fullerton intends to unleash Sir Reginald on society and ruin Rosalind. Before Rosalind's enemy can act, Sir Reginald is found murdered - and Fullerton is arrested for the crime. He protests his innocence, and Rosalind reluctantly agrees to uncover the truth, suspecting that this mystery may be linked to her other, ongoing cases.
Aided by her sister, Charlotte, and sundry friends and associates - including handsome Bow Street Runner Adam Harkness - Rosalind sets to work. But with political espionage and Napoleon loyalists in the mix, there may be more sinister motives, and far higher stakes, than she ever imagined....

Joan Bennett is a breath away from being a spinster. She’s had four seasons without a suitor. After reading a shockingly sensuous book, Fifty Ways to Sin, Joan decides perhaps it’s time to stop being proper and start being sinful, while she’s still young enough to enjoy it. And what better partner than her brother’s drinking mate, Viscount Burke? He seems the type to know how to give a lady a lascivious adventure.

Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

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.

Dying is the only thing people do with any regularity, and Fiona makes her indecorous living cleaning up after the corpses are carted away. Her childhood best friend, Mary, was the last known victim of Jack the Ripper. It's been two years since Fiona scrubbed Mary's blood from the floorboards, and London is no longer buzzing about the Ripper, but Fiona hasn't forgotten. When she's called to a murder in the middle of the night, Fiona finds a victim mutilated in an eerily similar fashion to those of the Ripper, and only a few doors down from Mary's old home.

Loved the Rosalind Thorne series!
I have to say that I’m sad to hear the last book in this series. I’ll miss listening to these characters’ stories. I enjoy this genre, mysteries set during historical periods. Ms. Wilde does an excellent job at character development and unraveling details within the historical setting. The narrators for this series have also been a pleasure to listen to. Now I have to find my next listen.

Complex, but worth it!
This is my favorite Rosalind Thorne mystery so far. I've enjoyed all of them immensely but this this one was pleasingly complex to a greater degree than the previous books. I loved it!

Love the series…
But This is not my favorite story in the series…a couple of the threads in the story line felt “icky” to me. I enjoy coming back to these characters and seeing them evolve.

Enjoyable story and narration
I very much enjoyed this book. I almost didn't listen because the one before in the series was fluff, but I'm happy I did.

Fabulous
So sorry to see this series end or at least this is the last one so far
A lot of things get wrapped up with Rosalind, her sister and Father. Also she and Adam finally seem like they will have a future.
So enjoyed the series and all the narrators! Please write more!

Couldn’t stop listening
I usually listen to audiobooks before I go to bed, to start winding down. These series just kept me saying to myself, just one more chapter! Truly addictive!

Marvelous, as always
I have loved every book in this series and Pearl Hewitt is an absolute joy to listen to. The storyline has more twists than a bowl of noodles with well developed characters. Bravo Ms. Wilde, you've done it again!
