Act Like a Lady Think Like a Lord by Celeste Connally

Act Like A Lady Think Like A Lord by Celeste Connally published by @Minotaur_Books is out now. It is the first mystery in the Lady Petra Inquires series.

Lady Petra Forsyth’s fiancé died a few weeks before their wedding. She decides that she will never remarry which causes quite a stir. She also notices that a longtime friend has died of “melancholia” while being looked after by a questionable physician. She feels the need to dig deeper into what happened to her friend.

This story combined two things I love mystery and the Regency era. It moved along quickly with twists and turns that lead to an interesting ending. I enjoyed meeting a variety of character such as a delightful street urchin, a female dog trainer, members of the ton and household servants who seem to know all. The story did a nice job representing mental health in the time period.

Act Like A Lady Think Like A Lord is a story set in Regency London with a great mystery ,some fascinating characters and an interesting plot. I recommend Act Like A Lady Think Like A Lord by Celeste Connally. I look forward to the next one in the series as the ending made me wonder what will happen next!

I was given a complimentary copy and not required to write a positive review.
