This was a really excellent mystery set in regency England and with a side of romance. I loved traveling to the countryside with Lily Adler and the cast of friends and aunts, and the murder mystery kept me guessing right up until the very end!!  I was also happy to see representation of queer people and people of color (in multiple social classes) in this regency setting!!! 

Although this is part of a series, I haven’t read the other books and would say this can definitely stand alone (although I am adding them to my TBR!).
