A Lady's Guide to Gossip and Murder (Countess of Harleigh Mystery #2)

by  

 This is the second book in the A Countess of Harleigh Mystery series, and the first one I have read. This series/ book captured my attention by encompassing many things I love: historical fiction, mystery and romance!

The American born, widowed Countess of Harleigh is a social butterfly and can be found at all the best gatherings with entourage (her almost engage sister, aunt and her sisters American friend that she is sponsoring). They make for a fun and helpful group when there is a murder among their peer group. 

The Countess, Franny to her close friends, gets embroiled in the investigation when her cousin is accused of murder. How could she not help exonerate him, she she had been the one to have set him up with the now deceased!

And she save her cousin? Can she find the real murderer before another one of theirs friends becomes the next victim? Can she find love at the same time?

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The mystery kept me guessing until the near end and the characters were so much fun that I’d volunteer to tag along on their next investigation! I highly recommend this book to lovers of historical fiction, mysteries and romance. Its not toted as a romance, but the sweet love connections made in the book really add to its appeal.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kensington Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
