Missing Diamond:
The Regency period, where the ton are the elite and a highborn young woman’s reputation was everything, as debutantes set out to capture a husband, who could give their families status, rather than a love match, is the setting for this first book in a new series.
This is no light, frothy regency romance, but rather a book packed with strong characters (who you will want to learn more about) and plenty of intrigue. When Queen Charlotte’s “diamond” goes missing, most are happy to believe that she has eloped. However, Charity’s friend Grace is certain there is much more to her disappearance and is determined to discover what has happened to her.
Lord Percy, who had set his sights on marrying the “diamond” finds himself working with Grace to solve the mystery of how Charity could have vanished and to rescue her with her reputation intact.
Grace and Lord Percy are ably aided in their endeavours by her maid and his manservant. These characters are interesting in themselves and you feel you would like to know more about them and to set their roles developed, as the series continues.
Over the course of the book you gradually become aware of how Charity may have gone missing, but the reasons for this and the culprit, do not become clear until the end, keeping you guessing and invested.
Ruby Dagger:
Having loved The Missing Diamond I was really looking forward to reading The Ruby Dagger and I certainly wasn’t disappointed!
Our main characters, Lady Grace and Lord Roland, are called on again by Queen Charlotte to make discrete investigations, after being on the spot when both a theft and a murder take place. There is a list of suspects to be followed up on, but everything is to be kept as secret as possible, making investigations difficult, while all the while balancing the niceties and morals of the Regency ton, to protect reputations. There is plenty of intrigue for the talented duo to pit their wits against and danger too. Could they also be drawing closer to each other?
I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and love the way there are unknown details which stop you from working out all of the motivations and machinations until the end. Grace and Roland are now firmly established on my list of favourite investigative duos!
Sapphire Intrigue:
With each book in this series, I love Grace and Roland even more.
This story has another mystery for them to solve, starting with a murder. Prinny wants our intrepid couple involved, despite what others may think. As you’d expect, there are many leads to follow, lots of intrigue, secrets and even another death, despite the relatively small number of suspects.
While investigating, Grace and Roland continue to develop their relationship, despite disapproval from some quarters. We also see Thorne’s character developed, with more backstory and a larger role to play.
Grace and Roland face danger again, as well as risking Prinny’s wrath, if they cannot recover the lost codes and find the culprit.
I loved the way the story developed, with previous storylines not forgotten. Grace is a strong female lead, refusing to be pushed into the role of a sidelined regency woman.
Emerald Threads:
The plan is for Roland and Grace to spend time at Alnwick, before travelling together, but we all know what happens to best laid plans…
Our daring couple are looking forward to being a married couple and travelling, before the time comes for Roland to take over from his grandfather. They deserve a break after all their danger and adventures. Somehow though, the couple seem to attract mysteries that must be solved. Children in the area are disappearing and, at the same time, the duke is not himself and there is a family mystery to investigate. All the while Grace has to find her feet in her new role/household and deal with worries of her own. As if this isn’t enough to contend with, events escalate, upping the stakes.
Seeing Grace and Roland in different circumstances, allows us to get to know them even better. Thorne, Elsie and The Sprouts return and some new, very likeable, characters are introduced. The mysteries keep you guessing, and sometimes on the edge of your seat. This is another triumph in this series of Regency mysteries and I loved it!

This was a fabulous series. Mystery and intrigue during the Regency period with a sassy heroine and an honest to god war hero.
In these books Roland and Grace must race to find her best friend, whilst navigating the ballrooms of the London Season, find a Ruby Dagger, stolen from St James’ Palace, retrieve a Cipher stolen from Prinny’s summer residence and track down children missing in the wilds of Northumberland, including one of their own.
I adored these stories, they were clever, twisty and so much fun. There’s mystery, intrigue, murder, spies, vendettas, kidnapping and just a little bit of peril for our protagonists all within the backdrop of actual historical events and true to life characters. Meanwhile our characters are falling in love. What more could you ask for …

The Missing Diamond is a welcome addition to the cozy historical mystery genre as it captures Regency England in all of its grandeur, complexity, and hypocrisy. The characters are rich, and the story sufficiently complex to keep readers guessing. I read a lot of historical mysteries, but I was not familiar with the selection of the “Diamond” from among the debutantes and found this and other glimpses into Queen Charlotte both intriguing and unique. This book also has the added quality of intelligent and compelling characters on all levels of the societal spectrum from Royalty to Aristocracy to their various servants making for a more enjoyable read.
The Ruby Dagger: Grace and Roland are back with a complex mystery and even more complicated relationship. After stumbling upon a body in the throne room during a state dinner, the two are once again thrown together to solve the crime quickly and with the utmost discretion. Although I had my suspicions about the culprits in this outing, I was engaged in the investigation and did not have the complete picture until the facts were revealed. While I am reminded repeatedly why I love to read about but never want to live in Regency England, these are two of my favorite protagonists, and this series is nothing short of addictive. I await Book 3 in the series with equal amounts of excitement and trepidation since it will conclude Grace and Roland’s story, but I know it will be a compelling read, and I have it on good authority (both Lynn Morrison and Anne Radcliffe) that the pair will still be around in future books. I highly recommend this cozy-historical-mystery-romance.
The Sapphire Intrigue: The strength and tenacity demonstrated by Grace and Roland previously explodes into action in this 3rd book. A murder, a traitor, and a closed room/Pavilion mystery make for a tantalizing tale of intrigue, as the Prince Regent once again finds himself in need of Grace’s and Roland’s sleuthing talents. Just as they are so close to their happily ever after, they may lose it all, including their lives. These characters, Grace, Roland, Thorne, the Sprouts, and more, just get better and better, as the story leads to a frightening climax. This is a must read for fans of the series, and you will not be disappointed.
The Emerald Threads: This 4th and final book in Percy’s and Grace’s story was everything I wanted for their finale even if it is a bittersweet read. Expect a solid mystery and a heartwarming tale wrapped up in one, not to mention a touch of romance, witty banter, and humor. For reasons that become obvious very quickly, Grace is not as physically involved in this adventure, but she is very much present, and her more subdued role allows Thorne to play a larger part. All of our favorite characters, including the Sprouts, are a part of the story, and for once, neither the Queen nor the Prince are manipulating the couple. The story also provides a great introduction to the spin-off series with Grace’s best friend, Charity, due to release in 2025.
Percy and Grace are finally at Percy’s ancestral home in the cold harsh climes of Northumberland, Alnwick Castle. How interesting that the setting is not fictional but the second largest inhabited castle in the UK and home to the real Percy family. Fact meets fiction, or vice versa. Either way, it is a testimony to the research that Lynn Morrison and Anne Radcliffe devote to this and every book in this series, adding to the depth and enjoyment of each one.
I highly recommend this book but encourage you to read the series from the beginning in order to fully appreciate the character development, as well as the background for Charity’s story.

I’ve read each of these 4 books as they became available with anticipation for the next one The characters come to life and you find yourself feeling as though you are traveling back in time experiencing their adventures. The bits of history add to that experience. What I love about this author is that i am always surprised at who the culprit is in the end
