It's 1910, and Daniel Pitt is a reluctant lawyer who would prefer to follow in the footsteps of his detective father. When the biographer Russell Graves, who Daniel is helping defend, is sentenced to execution for the murder of his wife, Daniel's Pitt-family investigative instincts kick in, and he sets out to find the real killer. With only 21 days before Graves is to be executed, Daniel learns that Graves is writing a biography of Victor Narraway, the former head of Special Branch and a close friend of the Pitts. And the stories don't shed a positive light. Is it possible someone is framing Graves to keep him from writing the biography-maybe even someone Daniel knows in Special Branch? The only answer, it seems, lies in the dead woman's corpse.

Britain’s high society—le bon ton—loves nothing more than a good scandal, and they’re giddy with the appearance of wealthy Samuel Hartley. Not only is he self-made, American, and in the habit of wearing moccasins, but he is also notorious for fleeing a battle in which several English gentlemen lost their lives. Lady Emeline Gordon is captivated by Samuel. Not only does he defy convention with his unusual dress, his sensual smile, and his forthright manner, but he survived the battle that killed her beloved brother.

Scotland, 1812. He's ferocious and rugged to the bone, an English soldier more at home on the battlefield than in any society drawing room. And when Major Gabriel Forrester learns that he has inherited the massive Scottish Highlands title and estate of a distant relation, the last thing he wants to do is give up the intensity of the battlefield for the too-soft indulgences of noble life. But Gabriel Forrester does not shirk his responsibilities, and when he meets striking, raven-eyed lass Fiona Blackstock, his new circumstances abruptly become more intriguing.

Beautifully written, but the story drags
The quality of the writing, the rich characters, and the historical context make this worth reading. There are exciting moments, but the plot drags in many places, enough to make it tedious. Narrator is a skilled actress and brings each character to life. Previous books in this series were better.

regarding his marriage, in this case, he may not have the woman he wanted, but he has the woman he needs, and with whom he can build a life.

Less melodrama, more mystery
I was personally relieved when, as the storyline progressed, the author stopped littering the pages with senseless gore and violence, and breathy sex scenes. The characters in themselves are compelling and charismatic, and the plots are intricate without being overly implausible , and I love the details about the regency period and Hero’s deeply-rooted civic-mindedness. It is an intelligent mystery series and doesn’t pander to anyone by having 2-dimensional and cliched heroes and heroines.

The 7th Guilty Pleasure
This series satisfies my need for a guilty pleasure between more challenging reads. What places it a notch above the usual formulaic mystery/romance is that Harris writes well and develops attractive characters who change and grow from book to book. Also, the reader, Davinia Porter, never disappoints. In a novel full of dialogue, her voices for each character, male and female, young and old, are distinct and credible. Yes, the main characters survive tight spots a little too easily by single-handedly killing off their attackers and, yes, the somewhat complex plots stretch belief, but where most series lag by number seven, the author leaves enough intriguing unfinished business in When Maidens Mourn to make me want to skip reading challenges and blitz the remaining titles in the series.

Davina Porter could make a Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe feel like a great love story .Combine her talent with CS. Harris's intelligent writing and captivating St. Cyr mysteries, When Maidens Mourn is another "must hear" in the St Cyr series.
