Man, I haven't enjoyed a page-turning mystery like this in awhile! That was fun!
Engaging characters, intricate plot, murder and mayhem...my favorite ingredients, with some family friendly thrown in.
Some features are clearly styled from Sherlock Holmes, but still nicely stands on its own. I'd read this again!

Intuition and Reason
This time I would not be caught like with Lady Fan series, I have the first book in this new to me series, so I am reading it first before the release of the latest installment.Thus way, I will have a reasonable view of the different characters.Charlotte operating under AJ Quill, her late husband’s pen name is the bearer of many secrets. One being her live-hood is provided by the satirical drawings she sold under thus name. Were she discovered, it would be the end of her means to make ends meet.Wrexford is a bored, cold blooded rather merciless peer. He analyses clues and hints as his scientific mind like with rationality and reason. But his temper put him right into the path of his own falling.Both have their web of informants, from different stations but all brought together, they draw the map of who’s behind the gruesome murder.I just adored Raven and Hawk, nicknamed the weasels by Wrexford, street urchins brothers, Charlotte has taken under her wing, who provide loads of insights and informations, connected to other ragamuffin informants. They are the light of this tale.Tyler is so much more than Wrexford’s valet and laboratory’s assistant, he is his all-kind-of-talents companion and a sort of a friend.Sheffield is not the idle being nor easy ne’er do well people think he is, he plays his part in Wrexford’s game, having to rely on his wits and his charming persona as funds are low for a younger son.And last Henning, the Scot surgeon working at the mortuary.The case is very clever, well thought, full of twists and turns offering a different view of the era, by bringing together Wrexford and Charlotte, it unexpectedly affords her some closure but unlocks too more questions about her past and life altering choices.Regency is mostly in my mind a romance period, maybe because most of the historical mysteries I have read are set during the Victorian period. So it is even more enthralling to read about the spark of progress, of discovery which will lead to today’s technology at a time when witches and stakes were not yet a long forgotten memory.5 stars𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 none but there are the elements for something between the main characters.

Regency is mostly in my mind a romance period, maybe because most of the historical mysteries I have read are set during the Victorian period.
