I think Ross does a fantastic job of writing a complex mystery with many different interlocking facets. Thats what I like most about her writing style. She really does know how to spin a tale. Her mysteries and endings are never simple. It's tragic that her life was cut so short and I will make sure...
I thought it was an enjoyable read. There was a little complexity to the mystery that I liked. The only thing I didn't care for was Julian's fling with Sally. Maybe it would have happened in the real world, maybe not, I understand this is fiction but he was just way too understanding with her profes...
I thought it was a great start to the series. Normally, it seems like the first books arent always as good as books written further along in the series because the author is still developing but I thought this book was really well written. It also had a who-dun-it flair to it that I really liked esp...
Do you know what it is to love someone unworthy? When you can't respect the person you love, you can't respect yourself.This is a good start to a Regency mystery series featuring Julian Kestrel. It is well-written, the plot is reasonable and moves in a believable pace and direction. Without modern d...

This one actually kept me guessing longer than the first one did. I thought I had it figured out and then I th...
An absorbing country house mystery, set in the early 1800s and featuring a dilettante-turned-detective. Even though the ending was bittersweet, I loved the plot's twists and turns.
Implausible but entertaining Regency mystery of the traditional English sort: house parties, family secrets, engagements, silly servants, bumbling local authorities, ridiculous webs of lies, lots of descriptions of clothing, many cups of tea. It's obvious that Ross is steeped in both the mystery and...
Julian Kestral is such a dandy that his style is copied everywhere, but his true gift is in sleuthing. When his valet's sister stumbles upon a chilling letter, he takes the case. The mystery is twisty and dark, and solved through a combination of legwork, wit and courage. I love the dialog in the...
