The contrast between high society, the”ton” & the extreme poverty of the masses is the backdrop of the mystery.The corpulent,egotistical,narcissistic,greedy, malevolent Prince Regent is in power.It‘s a winter like no other:extreme cold,constant snow storms,& huge snow banks all over the city.This creates a bleak,dank,dark atmosphere.
A bloodied body of a woman with close ties to the Court is found dead in a in a snowbank🔽

TBR Book #1 #14books14weeks2023 #TBR
Started today.

Session 2 of swimming lessons! So I‘m super in love with this series but I‘m getting close to the last book published and I have no idea what I‘m going to do at that point. Trying to pace myself but it‘s SO HARD 😩

On sale today. This one looks good. #readingeurope2020 #england

It took me over a year to finish this book. It has nothing to do with the quality of the book but just because of life. I finally caved and got it on Audiobook and I'm glad I did.

This was another solid entry into this series. I didn't guess the killer until end. I wish there had been more dedicated Sebastian and Hero's relationship but maybe into he next book. #audiobook #scribd #historicalfiction #historicalmystery

I 🖤 this series!

Regency era mysterious death leads to a crazy investigation that is linked to English palace intrigue.
A decent story, though a lot of the dialogue felt a little robotic at times. Fun historical references and a genuinely surprising "who done it," I really wasn't sure how Jane died.
Nothing to write home about, but it was good book.

Regency era murder mystery + palace intrigue, it's pretty good so far.

Got this in a pagehabit box when I was still subscribed, just now getting around to it.

It's a rainy, grey day here and I am not working so I'm curling up with this historical mystery. I've enjoyed this series and am not sure how I missed this one until now. #24b42019

C. S. Harris once again brilliantly writes a historical fiction/mystery novel. I love her!!!

I absolutely LOVE this bookmark and pencil that came in this month's #pagehabit box!

And my #pagehabit box of the month! Love the cover on this book!!

The latest in the Sebastian St. Cyr series, this had a plethora of suspects and lots of red herrings...just almost to the point where I was like "Can we just pick someone already?" Despite that, the main murder story was very well done. Harris always gives an interesting B story as well this time focusing on military press gangs and those left behind. A unique setting of London's last Frost Fair plus all else makes this a great read.

Not as good a month as March, but I had some great reads (five 4.5-5 star books), plus I finally finished M&M, so I‘m satisfied. 5 ebooks, 4 print, 2 audiobooks for a total of 2649 pages, 21 hours and 31 minutes. I also have four books currently in progress. Tagged book was my favorite.

Harris has written another wonderful Regency mystery with some of my favorite characters. Hero stumbles upon the corpse of a woman who turns out to be the piano teacher to Princess Charlotte. Was her death an accident or was she murdered? The Palace wants her death hushed up. Does that mean Hero‘s father is involved? Filled with political intrigue, danger, and an impressive body count, this was a great addition to the series.

😢

Another good story with Sebastian and his wife Hero working to solve the mystery of a piano teacher‘s death. A time of great hardship for most of the citizens during terrible snowfalls and freezing temperatures. Lots of threads to follow.

How did I miss the release of this book?!?! I have been looking forward to it for the last year. Now I want want to drop everything else I'm reading and start it. #historicalfiction #historicalmystery #tbr

OK, this got a double sticker...you know it MUST be good!!! 🤣🤣🤣 The plot was absorbing, the historical details spot-on...this author continues to amaze me. I think the true test of a good book is its ability to be played out vividly in your mind like a movie. This series does that. I ❤️ these characters! I cannot recommend this series highly enough...all the ⭐️s!!! If you try it, please start at the beginning. Thanks to #Berkley for the ARC!❤️

It‘s time to bite the bullet. 😩😔
I‘ve had this ARC for awhile but have been delaying reading it. It‘s the latest in one of my favorite series, and I was putting off facing a long wait for the next in series (14th) to appear by holding on to this one. But I can‘t procrastinate any longer...it‘s due out April 3. So I‘m both excited 😆 and sad 😢 to jump into the further adventures of Sebastian St. Cyr. 🤷🏻‍♀️ OK, yeah I‘m also weird! 🤣🤣

Mother-daughter dinner date. Bacon burger and the new CS Harris for me, cheeseburger and the new Never Girls for her. ❤️ #5guys #raisingreaders

Book for me. Puzzle and hot cocoa for her. My kind of mommy-daughter date!
