The Secret of the Lost Pearls by Darcie Wilde
This captivating Regency-era mystery inspired by the novels of Jane Austen is perfect for fans of Andrea Penrose, Lauren Willig, and Deanna Raybourn, as readers venture beyond the glittering ballrooms and elegant parties of Regency London to the dark side of the city and its unexpected dangers. Rosalind Thorne may not have a grand fortune of her own, but she possesses virtues almost as prized by the haut ton discretion, and a web of connections that enable her to discover just about anything about anyone. Known as a most useful woman, Rosalind helps society ladies in need--for a modest fee, of course--and her client roster is steadily increasing. Mrs. Gerald Douglas, n e Bethany Hodgeson, presents Rosalind with a particularly delicate predicament. A valuable pearl necklace has gone missing, and Bethany's husband believes the thief is Nora, Bethany's disgraced sister. Nora made a scandalous elopement at age sixteen and returned three years later, telling the family that her husband was dead. But as Rosalind begins her investigations, under cover of helping the daughters of the house prepare for their first London season, she realizes that the family harbors even more secrets than scandals. The intrigue swirling around the Douglases includes fraud, forgery, blackmail, and soon, murder. And it will fall to Rosalind, aided by charming Bow Street officer Adam Harkness, to untangle the shocking truth and discover who is a thief--and who is a killer.Darcie Wilde is the author of the Rosalind Thorne Mysteries, a Regency-set series inspired by Jane Austen's works, and the Regency Makeover Trilogy, as well as other fashionably exciting historical mysteries and romances. She's also written for Locus and Philip K. under the moniker Sarah Zettel. Novels that have won Dick Awards, including Fool's War, which was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.
