Finally, Flora Hyde-Clare has wrest the narrative from Beatrice by finding her own compelling murder mystery to solve. Well, it’s not entirely her own because the victim is her cousin’s former beau, Mr. Theodore Davies, whose father cruelly separated the young lovers (though not so cruelly, for it left the door open for Bea to woo the Duke of Kesgrave). Bea insists, of course, that the law clerk’s death was merely an accident. If only he had not been in the path of that wretched carriage! Oh, but Flora knows that evasive look on her cousin’s face. Bea is hiding something. Clearly, Davies had gotten himself entangled in some nefarious business, and Flora is determined to discover the truth despite the danger it puts her in. Or is that because it puts her in danger? After all, any heroine worth her salt must be willing to take on a great deal of personal risk. And Flora has her mind set on being a heroine of the highest order. Readers are LOVING this spin-off from The Beatrice Hyde-Clare Mysteries Series! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “ This was absolutely delightful! If you love the Beatrice Hyde-Clare series, you’ll love this foray into Flora’s first mystery…I giggled repeatedly...it was a wonderful ride! ” – Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “ Utterly Charming . I am totally in love with the Hyde-Claire mysteries but in this book, Flora has wrestled the narrative and the mystery away from her cousin Bea the usual heroine. I highly recommend this book and series.” – Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “ I loved this book so much . Flora is such a fun character to have as the main POV. She’s younger, and a bit more frivolous than Bea, but just as determined! I really hope we’ll see a lot more of Flora in future stories. ” – Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “... Flora is wonderful ! This is a boldly daring addition to the BHC mysteries that pays off in spades! I loved every second of Flora's first adventure. I adore Beatrice (and her adventurers with the Duke of Kesgrave) so much, I was uncertain if Flora would be as satisfying a read. I shouldn't have doubted! In the skilled hands of a gifted author like Messina, Flora's story is just as engaging, entertaining, and charming as the Bea books. I really hope there is more of Flora waiting in the wings! Highly recommended! ” – Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “ Fantastic . Each book in this series is a marvel … The mysteries are quirky and a wonder as to who, what and why. Pleasure to read always . Can't wait for the next to come.” – Goodreads Reviewer
