pickThis was charming. Bea's sleuthing was humorously unsubtle and her interactions with the pompous Duke had me chuckling more than once. I'll read more in the series.

pickI stand by my assessment of book #11 in this series. The characters are utterly ridiculous. The plot of this Regency cozy mystery was cheesy, but filled with shenanigans. The elements all combine into a delightful, light, and quick read - perfect as a palate cleanser between dark or heavy books.
Book 11 is not in the database. I‘ve tagged the 1st in the series. It‘s a light, cozy mystery set in Regency England, with an MC who reminds me a bit of Raybourn‘s Veronica Speedwell. Ridiculous, madcap characters make this an entertaining if completely unbelievable escape from reality. This can be read as a standalone although there are tons of references to past cases which might make this more enjoyable. I do want to go back to read the 1st.
pickAn interesting historical mystery with a fun heroine. Bea is the poor relation who manages to solve a murder at a Regency house party. The first of a series, I definitely want to read more. Nothing complicated or demanding, but enjoyable.
I‘m liking this so far. It‘s a combination cozy mystery and Regency romance. Think Jane Austen with a dead body in the library. I‘m loving the heroine.

#currentlyreading | It‘s the last week of August (lol what) so I‘m closing out my summer reading by revisiting this delightfully charming cozy romance/mystery series 😁
pickOverall, a fun Regency cozy. Bea presents herself as a shy spinster, but after a guest is murdered at a house party, she‘s determined to find justice for him and his family. Even if she has to contend with the seemingly pedantic Duke of Kesgrave, who might not be as stuffy as she first assumed.

pickA lovely regency mystery with a shy spinster heroine who decides to investigate a murder that occurred during a house party.
pickExcellent audiobook. It is a nice cozy mystery with a side of romantic interest. I am looking forward to the next in the series
pickI‘d read one of Messina‘s romances & adored it for its laugh-out-loud wit & endearing characters. This didn‘t disappoint! There were several points where I cackled madly at my kindle thanks to Beatrice‘s wry observations or her hilarious conversations with a pompous Duke. The mystery itself was treated a bit cavalierly — hard-boiled whodunnit, this is not. Still, Bea‘s interactions with a hilarious collection of characters kept me engrossed! ★★★★☆
