The sins of the fathers . . . What does a heinous event from the past have to do with the recent death of a young Lord – and then another – and then another – and then . . . One doesn’t refuse when the future King, the Prince of Wales, asks you to investigate a death that is not the robbery it seems to be. Therefore, Lady Mikaela Forsythe and Angus Brodie find themselves investigating the death(s), but they are sure they’ve not been given all of the information they need. Will they unearth the information they need to stop the next death from happening?

As Mikaela and Brodie begin their investigation, yet another death occurs – almost in front of them. With secrets coming to light, yet the Prince withholding information, the investigation kicks into high gear. Who is the man Mikaela keeps catching glances of? Is he friend or foe?

I loved the investigation and the race to get the clues before Sir Avery could get to them and skew them. I also enjoy seeing Lily’s growth toward adulthood, as well as the continuing growth of the relationship between Mikaela and Brodie.

If you enjoy historical mysteries such as Sebastian St. Cyr and Lady Darby, I think you will enjoy this series as well. I enjoyed this book, and I hope you will as well. Happy Reading!
