A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem

A Lady’s Guide #1

by Manda Collins

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5



Finally a historical romantic mystery that actually is a romance!!!


It was. Delight to read this romantic mystery that starts as both a Scotland Yard detective and a newspaper columnist investigate the same serial killer.


Columnist Lady Bascomb quickly makes as enemy of detective Eversham when her interview of a missed witness and subsequent article soon ends up with the detective being removed from the case end the wrong man arrested!


These enemies are soon brought back together when Lady Bascomb discovers another murder victim at her friends house party. Instead of fighting each they decide to combine their skills and work together to find the true culprit! Mutual respect and admiration soon finds these unwilling partners surely connecting!


I loved the theme of women empowerment found throughout this book. Lady Bascomb was an independent woman and used her recourses to lift up other women . Detective Eversham may have disliked Lady Bascomb for publishing her interview without bringing him the new information first, but he always respected her work and abilities.


I noted that this was a true romance, and it is! Lady Bascomb and Detective Eversham find their HEA together and their relationship follows that of a traditional romance. As well, this series will not continue folioing these characters, but will following their friends as they mystery and romance evolve! I can’t wait for it!



This book provides both n intriguing mystery and a fun romance! A total double threat!




A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem by Manda Collins is scheduled to release November 10th, 2020.


I received a complimentary copy of this book from Forever Grand Central Publishing) through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
