The Countess of Harleigh Mystery series is back with mystery #6! I count on this series to give me a tangled mystery, humor, great characters, and a twist or two. A Newlywed's Guide to Fortune and Murder is all that, and more! I had difficulty putting this book down to go to work.
Frances is asked to sponsor an elderly acquaintance’s niece for presentation to the queen, and join high society. George agrees readily enough; he is investigating for the British museum. Though the couple usually investigates together, Frances leads in this installment. I recommend this book to all who enjoy mystery mixed with humor and historical facts.
My thanks to #NetGalley, #KensingtonBooks, #DianneFreeman for giving me an advanced ecopy of this book to read and give an unbiased review. All thoughts are my own.

Another solid installment in the Countess of Harleigh series. I love watching Frances and George's relationship blossom, but it has been so long between books I forgot that they are still newlyweds! They seem like they have been together forever and I love their easy camaraderie and witty banter. Lady Winstead is such a funny "grumpy, rich, old lady" and her niece Kate was a sympathetic character because she was trying to find a balance of fulfilling her aunt's wishes but also going after her own dreams. The mystery in this one had some typical shenanigans, and I loved the creativity of the solution of who was behind the poisoning.
Thank you to Netgalley and Kensington Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I saw a post on mastodon by an author, a little while ago, who was perplexed that someone would read every book in a long series of hers, and give each of them 2.5 or 3 stars on Goodreads. But that is this series to me. The books are fine. I like them. They're reliable, they're pleasant, and they're copious. There are pretty gowns and tea parties and murder. I need something to listen to when I chop onions or scrub the bathroom or wake up at 3am and can't get back to sleep. These books fill that gap in my life.
