Absurd and witty Regency romp!

Our Dear Miss H. Is on the Case by Violet Marsh     

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a perfect pair Georgina Harrington and Alexander Lovett are. Although they don’t know it of course

They first meet when Georgie’s cousin Percy, Lord Pendergrast  brings Alexander to her pit site. An avid antiquarian / archaeologist, Georgina has a dig at a mound on a strip of land in Essex she’d inherited from her father, himself a famed antiquarian. Think cliffs and smugglers. Georgina has found a gold helmet. Percy pretends to have found her artefacts and presents them to the Antiquarians of England Society.

Unfortunately that’s the last Georgina sees of Percy before she’s bundled off to London by her wicked step brother in a plot to marry her off to someone.

In London Georgina looks everywhere for Percy but no-one’s seen him. She’s worried and turns to Alexander for help. That’s when Georgina discovers her people! Her group! They’re wonderful, quirky and supportive.

There’s plots within plots, both hilarious and dangerous. Never more so than for Alexander who’s sworn he’ll never marry, but has started to have feelings for Georgina. He’s actually the Marquess of Heathford, heir to a dukedom. Little do they both know that Georgina is the woman his father and Georgina’s brother are angling for him to wed. Oops!

Some surprising twists before the whole is revealed makes this a humorous and delightful read! I especially loved the way they influence Society into believing roosters are a fashion statement!
