For all those readers out there who like a good mystery as much as they like reading about England during the Regency period,
A Gentleman of Fortune, Or, The Suspicions of Miss Dido Kent might be just the book for you. Like a younger version of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, Miss Kent is a society lady with abundant curiousity and a knack for solving mysteries. When Mrs. Lansdale dies and leaves her nephew a large fortune, many speculate that he might have hurried her passing. Together with her love interest Mr. Lomax, Miss Kent investigates by paying visits, eavesdropping, and using her keen intellect to piece everything together. This new book received a starred review in
Kirkus, which said "The clever puzzle and pitch-perfect Regency prose will charm readers."
