This is book one in a new series written by the author that is entitled: Thorndike & Swann Regency Mysteries. I have been a huge fan of this author since I discovered her when she wrote for Love Inspired Historical. I am super excited to see a new series from her.  You will be transported back regency times. We meet Lady Juliette Thorndike. She has just finished finishing school and is ready for her debut into society. Her life changes when her parents disappear. She soon discovers she never really knew them. She learns that they led a whole life that she knew nothing about. One where they were government spies. She is left in the care of her uncle and soon discovers she is drawn toward the world of espionage.  Daniel Swann comes from a very different background. He finds himself as a Bow Street detective. His first case involves thefts from wealthy homes, factor in a murder and Daniel soon realizes he has more then he bargained for. The crimes have left him puzzled. Daniel and Juliette keep crossing paths everywhere. Daniel is curious to if she is involved somehow. What does she know?  This story is very well written. I enjoyed the mystery and turning pages trying to figure it all out. I love the care and research that the author put into this book to bring the Regency time period alive. Daniel and Juliette are wonderful characters and I hope to continue to read their stories.  I received a copy of  this book through the author and Read With Audra. All thoughts are my own.
