The Debutante’s Code by Erica Vetsch Book Review & Giveaway
Jane Austen meets Sherlock Holmes in this new Regency mystery series.
Newly returned from finishing school, Lady Juliette Thorndike is ready to debut
in London society. Due to her years away, she hasn't spent much time with her
parents, and sees them only as the flighty, dilettante couple the other nobles
love. But when they disappear, she discovers she never really knew them at all.
They've been living double lives as government spies--and they're only the
latest in a long history of espionage that is the family's legacy.
Now Lady Juliette is determined to continue their work. Mentored by her uncle,
she plunges into the dangerous world of spy craft. From the glittering
ballrooms of London to the fox hunts, regattas, and soirees of country high
society, she must chase down hidden clues, solve the mysterious code her
parents left behind, and stay out of danger. All the while, she has to keep her
endeavors a secret from her best friend and her suitors--not to mention nosy,
irritatingly handsome Bow Street runner Daniel Swann, who suspects her of a
daring theft.
Can Lady Juliette outwit her enemies and complete her parents' last mission? Or
will it lead her to a terrible end?
Best-selling author Erica Vetsch is back with a rollicking, exciting new series
destined to be a hit with Regency readers who enjoy a touch of mystery in their
love stories. Fans of Julie Klassen, Sarah Ladd, and Anne Perry will
love the wit, action, and romance.
Mystery Historical Fiction Regency
My Thoughts:
Another good book from Erica Vetsch! I learned a lot in this historical fiction about the spies during the Regency era. Erica has made history come alive during this era. I appreciated the Author’s Notes in the back of the book that provided you with more information of the art and artifacts that are talked about in this book.
All the characters are well developed and an interesting plot that will keep you reading late in the night.
When Lady Juliette returns home from school in England to make her society debut. Her uncle informs her that her parents had urgent business. She attends social events but notices that works of art are coming up lost or stolen from society events she attends. Juliette finds a clue that gets herself involved in the mystery. With the help of police detective Daniel Swann they dive into the mystery.
A lot of twists and turns and a few surprises. A good pace throughout the story in this suspenseful mystery espionage story. I look forward to other books in this series.
