Set in Georgian England, The Secret of the Lost Pearls is the sixth in the wonderful Rosalind Thorne Mysteries series. The story is jam packed with secrets, mysteries, theft, snippets of romance, drama and murder.

Rosalind Thorne is extraordinary for her era. Not only is she smart and courageous but also discreet which is exactly what society ladies require when they seek engage her to solve cases without any fuss or damage to their reputations. Acquaintance Bethany Hodgeson asks her to find missing pearls but there is far more bubbling below the surface. Bethany's husband, her sisters and her husband's family all want the resolution...or do they? At the age of sixteen, Bethany's sister Nora eloped with handsome but conniving Cantrell. Her return home is met with many obstacles. Sister Mariah's brain is quick and she knows more than others think. Bow Street officer Adam Harkness and maid Amelia use their complementary skillsets to aid Rosalind and chip away at the mystery which grows from indiscretions to crimes. All the while, the ton is desperate to keep things quiet.

Those who are hankering after a cracking good Georgian era Historical Fiction Mystery series, look no further After the first two instalments, this is my favourite. Though the mysteries themselves are absorbing, the quirky characters, beautifully-researched historical details, wit and bright writing with proper Georgian vernacular captivate me most. It's almost like several bonuses stuffed into a gorgeous package.

My sincere thank you to Kensington Books and NetGalley for providing me with an early digital copy of this brilliantly-written book! The series brings me much joy.
