Murder in Season

Murder in Season is the third in the Lady of Letters historical mystery series where a widowed countess is also an Agony Aunt newspaper columnist. I have enjoyed this series and this entry was no different. In fact, I think it was my favorite so far. Amelia has really come into her own as a strong, independent woman who might also want a little romance. I love how Amelia has taken what could be a very tough situation in life and has flourished as she has found herself and formed her own little family. Aunt Tabitha is a fantastic character in this series also and I would hate to be the person who gets on her bad side! The addition of her sister was lots of fun and the mystery itself really kept me guessing until the very end. I’m hoping the series will continue with more of Amelia and her friends and family. There are so many interesting situations that could come up in her life that the possibilities are endless.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book and offer my fair and honest opinion.

I must be honest, the first thing that got me into reading this book was the cover - straight out an old magazine: I loved it. I think I needed this book, a regency romance story where I can enjoy the plot while I empathize with the characters. I mean, times are different but relations between people and emotions never get old, never change. Relatable situations, relatable reactions, relatable mistakes.
I enjoyed this book, will totally read other titles from the author.

The third book in this Regency-set series sees Amelia dealing with more family drama, this time in the shape of a sister who gets into trouble when coming to London to escape some trouble at home. Amelia again has to step in to save the family name and protect loved ones when murder and theft ensue. As if that’s not enough she has complications of her own in the form of her relationship with Simon, her former husband’s best friend. This is a quick, enjoyable read. The mysteries are engaging and the personal relationships keep the story moving along at a good pace. It’s not clear if another book in the series will follow, but even if not, things are wrapped up nicely at the end. The Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy. All views are entirely my own.
