4 of 5 starsBenedict Harcourt, the Earl of Haslemere, is a darling rake of the ton. The good-natured lord who doesn't take anything seriously, that is, until he overhears Miss Georgianna Harley talking about his sister, Jane, the Duchess of Kenilworth and a missing young woman. Benedict doesn't let too many things affect his good nature except when it comes to protecting his sister and his nephew. Little does Benedict know that the chance encounter with Ms. Harley will change the course of his life. Miss Georgianna Harley hates unsolved puzzles and she's determined to help the Duchess find the missing young woman, but at every turn, her brother Benedict is there interrupting her search and in the end agrees to work with him.
This was another enjoyable novel by Ms. Bradley in the Swooning Virgins Society series. I loved that Georgiana was strong willed and had a sharp tongue that she wasn't afraid to use when scolding Lord Haslemere. And, of course, there's more to Benedict than anyone knows. Both he and Georgiana agree to team up to help Jane, but there's missing pieces of the puzzle that make it difficult to figure out the big picture. Ms. Bradley does a great job of keeping the mystery interesting and I was happily turning the pages to find out. When I think I've figured out the mystery, Ms. Bradley throws another twist into the story. What I found odd though was that during the days' long search, neither Benedict nor Georgiana changed their clothes and yet went calling on different folks. Surely, people would question whether he was actually a lord based on their disheveled appearance. I can imagine they didn't smell very good either. Besides that, this was another winner from Ms. Bradley.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
