Synopsis: New parents Lady Kiera Darby and Sebastian Gage look forward to introducing Sebastian’s father to his granddaughter, but instead find themselves investigating an attempt on his life...
Yorkshire, England. August 1832. Relations between Sebastian Gage and his father have never been easy, especially since the discovery that Lord Gage has been concealing the existence of an illegitimate son. But when Lord Gage is nearly fatally attacked on a journey to Scotland, Sebastian and Kiera race to his side. Given the tumult over the recent passage of the Reform Bill and the Anatomy Act, in which Lord Gage played a part, Sebastian wonders if the attack could be politically motivated.
But something suspicious is afoot in the sleepy village where Lord Gage is being cared for. The townspeople treat Sebastian and Kiera with hostility when it becomes clear they intend to investigate, and rumors of mysterious disappearances and highway robberies plague the area. Lord Gage’s survival is far from assured, and Sebastian and Kiera must scramble to make the pieces fit before a second attempt at murder is more successful than the first. (Synopsis from Goodreads)

My Thoughts: I'm always ready for a historical mystery, or mysteries in general. I also really enjoy book series where you can follow the journey of the detective as they solve the mysteries. The Lady Darby Mysteries hit all the right notes for me. I had a lot of fun reading this. I would like to go back to the start of the series and read them all through.
This mystery hits close to home for Lady Darby, it involves family being in danger.
This was really entertaining to follow. The villain was definitely not what I would have ever figured out, but I'm bad at figuring out things sometimes.
I can see a lot of mystery lovers enjoying this one.
