To stop a high-society killer, she'll have to play matchmaker one last time....

Lady Katherine would rather chase clues than suitors. Her reputation as a matchmaker could give her the cover she needs to follow in her detective father's footsteps. If she catches the Pink Ribbon Killer before he strikes again, she'll win her dowry and her independence in the process....

One look through the exclusive Northbrooke estate house party doubles her suspect list. With the help of her trusty maid and her precocious pug, Katherine risks it all to unmask the killer. But is winning her freedom worth putting another debutante in mortal danger?

This was a very relaxing and entertaining story. It’s also a very fast read. I did have to turn the speed down almost immediately on starting the story. I liked the dog Emma for another facet of this story.

Cute, cozy mystery

It’s ok, not great. Lady Katherine, Harriet and Lyle have the makings of endearing characters, but just aren’t quite compelling enough

Meh

Good story and excellent performance. The story and characters held my interest, and now I’m going to see if there are future books with the same characters . 

Interesting Heroine

Mostly scratched my itch for a Regency/Victorian cozy mystery, with some flaws. As other reviews mention, some things don’t make sense, like why Katherine’s father would insist on her solving a crime alone and putting herself in danger. Mainly my issue is that this doesn’t feel like the first book in a series. Katherine supposedly accepts one final matchmaking job, but where were all the others? The pink ribbon murders are talked of as though we’re supposed to already know about them. The deal with her father is mentioned as though it were previously arranged.

Generally fun background listen

It took a bit to get started, but once it did I really enjoyed it! Mystery and lots of characters so pay attention!

The story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This story has a major problem, the author has no clue about the sexual mores of English High Society.
Debutante 's are being killed and they are having affairs with Lord's.
17 and 18 year old girls go straight from the school room to Society Balls for the sole reason of finding a husband.
I cannot see how a Debutante can get away from supervision long enough to have a sexual encounter with a experienced male. Add to that I doubt she would have the panache to be able to meet her lover in public with or without his wife and not become flustered.
This book is the type of story that I hate. A story that the writer did not research and the Editor did not flag a having a problem.

I think it could have been better if the narrator have it more life. Or maybe it was the writing. Either way, I was bored.

Meh

I expected this to be a light piece of fluff to space between more serious titles. I was pleasantly surprised to find an engaging, humorous, fun romp brimming with intrigue and packed with fascinating characters. True, as the disclaimer at the beginning states, there are historic liberties taken. That said, those liberties make the story fun and prepare the reader/listener to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the ride.

A Happy Surprise

Keeps you guessing to the very end. The dog is a hit as are the new inventions for solving crime.
