Lady Violet Belmaine emerges from two years of mourning less than enthusiastic about resuming her place in Polite Society. She’s talked into attending a country house party by her French physician friend, Hugh St. Sevier, only to find that the house party guests are being preyed upon by a mysterious thief.

Among the guests is Sebastian MacHeath, Marquess of Dunkeld. Violet once considered Sebastian her closest confidant, but war and the passing years have changed him. Nonetheless, when Sebastian’s valet, another veteran, comes under suspicion, Violet, St. Sevier, and Sebastian must work together to discover the true culprit, lest an innocent man be sent to the gallows for crimes he did not commit.

Goodreads patrons loved it “She had a friend there, her personal physician who had persuaded her to attend, as he thought she needed to get out once more. A man she had once been very close to was also there, so there were two potential love interests in the book. Part of what I anticipate in the rest of the series - which is already published! - is in seeing where the romance goes.

From the first day, various small items - some expensive, some not - start disappearing. This is the mystery that Lady Violet sets out to solve … until it becomes more serious. This book and the mystery are beautifully plotted. Usually, I can guess ‘who done it’ halfway well before the end, but I never saw this one coming.
