Yet another outstanding entry into this author’s cozy mystery series, The Kier and Levett Mysteries. It has the perfect balance of mystery and romance and will keep you glued to your chair throughout. If you read the last book, you will know there was a shocking revelation about Niall’s parentage. Well, there is a shocking revelation in this book as well, but I won’t tell you what it is – you’ll just have to read it to see.

Josie Lowe, who helped save Niall’s bacon when he was captured by those nasty League men weeks ago, now needs saving. Josie’s riveting voice has been pulling patrons into the Rogues Hideaway for a while now and when she sings, the audience is rapt. They love her, and her wealthy patron, Mr. Frederick Cole, attends every performance. However, things change swiftly when, directly after her performance, Mr. Cole dies of poisoning and Josie is arrested for his murder.

With his ruthless business practices, Mr. Cole had no shortage of enemies, but would they be willing to kill? One of them must have because it surely wasn’t Josie. Could it be the wife who isn’t grieving at all? Perhaps it was the business partners whom he had made insanely rich, but who wanted more/different things? Could it be his illegitimate son who owns the Rogues Hideaway? With his acerbic personality, it could be anyone in London!

Kara and Niall have their work cut out for them when it comes to solving the mystery – but what of their romance? Well, Kara is ready to go forward, but Niall is still dragging his feet. Not that he doesn’t love Kara and wants to marry her – NO – it is that after the revelations about his parentage, he is afraid there may be reprisals against him and he doesn’t want anyone coming after Kara. So, no wedding in this book and I’m beginning to think there is a ‘no wedding’ theme here. 😊 I’m sure they’ll marry – I’m just not sure when. Do you realize Kara will become Kara Kier when they marry? Try saying that name quickly several times without putting a smile on your face. 😊 It sort of sounds medicinal, doesn't it? :)

I would love it if this became a long-running series, but that is up to the author and the publisher. I do wish they would get on with the wedding though as I would love to see them work on cases as a married couple and see how the dynamics of that relationship will work. I’d also like to see some stories where Niall’s past isn’t an issue woven throughout. However – none of that keeps me from absolutely loving the series. The writing is excellent, the mystery is engrossing and will keep you guessing, and we get to know the characters better and better with each new entry. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series – Carnage From The Cursed Crown. Oh! Doesn’t that sound exciting?

I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness by Deb Marlowe
Half Moon House series #1.7. Historical romance novella. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Viscount Brodham, Simon Lansing, doesn’t trust Miss Liberty Baylis from America. He’s had years of experience in helping people keep secrets and avoiding scandal. So, of course, he’s going to help his nephew from the scandal of woman advertising her need to see Peter again. Liberty just wants to help Peter and Felicity be together and spinning Simon in circles is just entertaining enough to made the dull London season worth staying for.

Simon and Liberty are like fire and water, sparking off each other, and trying to get the best of the other. Within the means of society, of course. At least while they are in public. Who can resist a hedge maze? Sometimes talking needs to be done with kisses.
Appealing with a great wrap up.

An Unexpected Encounter by Deb Marlowe
Half Moon series 1.5. Historical romance novella. Can be read as a stand-alone. Originally published as part of an anthology.
Lizbeth Moreton expects to meet a date at the British museum. Instead she finds a young girl seemingly on her own. Making sure the girl is ok, she encounters Lord Cotwell, who promptly offers her a job as governess.
Lisbeth is caught between the ton and the gentry and her future is precarious. Taking care of Aurelia temporarily may open other options.

A sweet manipulation has two like minded people working together to keep a young girl safe and feel secure. A bit of romance blooms though it’s not without a hiccup or two. The best outcome, of course, for this little novella.

Murdered on the Mirrored Lake by Deb Marlowe
The Kier and Levett Mystery series #3. Historical mystery with a touch of romance. Can be read as a stand-alone but better as part of the series in order.
Former maid Sally Doughty in trying to unearth secrets. She is killed at the lake that Miss Kara Levett has dedicated to her women’s club. When Kara finds out, she will investigate herself, not just because she knew the woman, but because she was once hand-fasted to Mr Niall Kier. As Kara and Niell ask questions, the danger mounts for them both. Are they being betrayed?

Twists and dark turns, back door conspiracies and tangles of friends and foe. Back to the area of town where the booby traps lie, Niall and Kara are track clues from person to person. It’s dangerous but at the same time, if they don’t investigate, are they the ones now in danger? The conspiracy is getting bigger and it’s not just theirs but may impact the nation.

Compelling and intriguing, it’s a fast paced mystery you won’t want to put down.
Historical stories are growing on me and this mystery series and the clever Kara, will keep you intrigued and invested.
