Fans of Jane Austen have fallen in love with Darcie Wilde's mystery series featuring Rosalind Thorne, a young woman adept at helping ladies of the ton navigate the darker corners of Regency England--while revealing Society's most shocking secrets... Rosalind is pleased when she's invited to Cassel House to help her friend, Louisa, prepare for her upcoming wedding. But that's not the only event on her agenda. The trip will also afford Rosalind the chance to see Devon Winterbourne, the newly minted Duke of Casselmaine. Devon and Rosalind were on the verge of betrothal before the infamous Thorne family scandal derailed their courtship. Now Rosalind wonders if there's a chance their love might reignite. Devon is as handsome as Rosalind remembers and it's clear the attraction they once shared hasn't waned. But their time together is interrupted by one crisis after another--not the least of which is an awkwardly timed request for help from Louisa's friend, Helen Corbyn. Not long ago, the untimely death of Helen's brother, William, was ruled a suicide, but few people truly believe he took his own life. Helen needs to know what really happened--especially since she's engaged to the man some suspect of secretly killing William. While Rosalind desperately wants to help, she fears her efforts might cast a pall over Louisa's nuptials, not to mention her reunion with Devon. But when another untimely death rocks the ton, Rosalind has no choice but to uncover the truth before more people die...even if her actions threaten her future with Devon.… (mais)

In the fourth book in the Rosalind Thorne series of cozy Regency mysteries, Rosalind has been invited to the country estate of Devon Winterbourne, the Duke of Casselmaine. Nominally the visit is to help his cousin Louisa prepare for her wedding. However, the visit will also give Devon and Rosalind an opportunity to determine whether they are still suited for each other after several years apart. Louisa has alternate plans for Rosalind though as Louisa's friend, Helen, is desperate for Rosalind to dig into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Helen's eldest brother. As Rosalind brings her skills to bear, she does so knowing that digging into the mystery may irrevocably damage her reputation in the neighbourhood and prevent her ever being respected if she does marry Devon.

It's been a while since I read one of these mysteries, but I fell back into Rosalind's world with ease. These books continue to be a fun mysteries with lots of excellent Regency era details. I really enjoyed the direction the mystery went and appreciated how Wilde resolved the situation with Devon. I'll definitely continue on with the series. ( )

"Wilde's heroine is not only a useful woman but a highly entertaining one."
—Kirkus Reviews on And Dangerous to Know

Devon is as handsome as Rosalind remembers and it's clear the attraction they once shared...

Rosalind has been asked by her former intended to help his cousin plan her wedding. While there she’s asked by a neighbor and friend to help her figure out what exactly happened to her brother who died in a duel. The Duke is hoping to rekindle their feelings but he is definitely keeping secrets about what happened to his friend during the duel.

The first half of this book was extremely slow and basically a lecture on the manners of the time. Rosalind seems a little to progressive for the time while the men in her life are definitely Regency period. Anyway, she gets to the bottom of the “scandal” with the help of her friend, and the Bow Street Detective who is enamored of her. ( )

Rosalind Thorne has been invited to a house party at Cassell House by Devon Winterbourne, Lord Casselmaine, officially to help his cousin Louisa Winterbourne plan her wedding, unofficially to see if Devon and Rosalind can rekindle their romance. But she receives a letter from Helen Corbyn, neighbour of the Duke, needing her help to find out who did kill her eldest brother, Colonel William Corbyn.
An enjoyable cozy historical mystery, though I suspect it would be helpful to have read the previous books in the series to get some of the background of the characters.

Enjoyable read!

A Regency mystery with a smart level headed woman cast as the fixer, someone who helps others with their small problems for an accompanying gratuity.
Rosalind Thorne helped Louisa through her London season towards marriage.
Now she's attending the wedding and renewing her acquaintance with Devon Winterbourne, Duke of Casselmaine with the intent of maybe developing the relationship into something more. Only Louise has asked her to help her friend Helen whose brother died in mysterious circumstances prior to a duel.
Gossip, a death, attempted murder and a daring engineering project all play a part.
Bow street runner Adam Harkness makes an appearance and there seems to be some sort of love triangle hovering.
And a rather sinister, even salacious man seems to be wanting to know more about Rosalind Thorne.
A very different Regency historical romance/mystery with more to come. Rosalind Thorne is thoughtful incisive woman with a giving heart and insatiable curiosity. My sort of heroine.
