MickyFine | Aug 13, 2023 |   —Kirkus Reviews on And Dangerous to Know Fans of Jane Austen have fallen in love with this mystery series featuring Rosalind Thorne, a young woman adept at helping ladies of the ton navigate the darker corners of Regency England—while revealing Society's most shocking secrets . . . Rosalind is pleased when she's invited to Cassel House to help her friend, Louisa, prepare for her upcoming wedding. But that's not the only event on her agenda. The trip will also reunite Rosalind with Devon Winterbourne, the newly minted Duke of Casselmaine. Devon and Rosalind were on the verge of betrothal before the infamous Thorne family scandal derailed their courtship. Now Rosalind wonders if there's a chance their love might reignite . . . Devon is as handsome as Rosalind remembers and it's clear the attraction they once shared... paswell | Sep 3, 2022 | The first half of this book was extremely slow and basically a lecture on the manners of the time. Rosalind seems a little to progressive for the time while the men in her life are definitely Regency period. Anyway, she gets to the bottom of the “scandal” with the help of her friend, and the Bow Street Detective who is enamored of her. (  ) Kathy89 | Dec 6, 2021 | An enjoyable cozy historical mystery, though I suspect it would be helpful to have read the previous books in the series to get some of the background of the characters. An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. ( ) Vesper1931 | Jul 29, 2021 | A Regency mystery with a smart level headed woman cast as the fixer, someone who helps others with their small problems for an accompanying gratuity. Rosalind Thorne helped Louisa through her London season towards marriage. Now she's attending the wedding and renewing her acquaintance with Devon Winterbourne, Duke of Casselmaine with the intent of maybe developing the relationship into something more. Only Louise has asked her to help her friend Helen whose brother died in mysterious circumstances prior to a duel. Gossip, a death, attempted murder and a daring engineering project all play a part. Bow street runner Adam Harkness makes an appearance and there seems to be some sort of love triangle hovering. And a rather sinister, even salacious man seems to be wanting to know more about Rosalind Thorne. A very different Regency historical romance/mystery with more to come. Rosalind Thorne is thoughtful incisive woman with a giving heart and insatiable curiosity. My sort of heroine.

"Rosalind is pleased when she's invited to Cassel House to help her friend, Louisa, prepare for her upcoming wedding. But that's not the only event on her agenda. The trip will also afford Rosalind the chance to see Devon Winterbourne, the newly minted Duke of Casselmaine. Devon and Rosalind were on the verge of betrothal before the infamous Thorne family scandal derailed their courtship. Now Rosalind wonders if there's a chance their love might reignite. Devon is as handsome as Rosalind remembers and it's clear the attraction they once shared hasn't waned. But their time together is interrupted by one crisis after another--not the least of which is an awkwardly timed request for help from Louisa's friend, Helen Corbyn. Not long ago, the untimely death of Helen's brother, William, was ruled a suicide, but few people truly believe he took his own life. Helen needs to know what really happened--especially since she's engaged to the man some suspect of secretly killing William. While Rosalind desperately wants to help, she fears her efforts might cast a pall over Louisa's nuptials, not to mention her reunion with Devon. But when another untimely death rocks the ton, Rosalind has no choice but to uncover the truth before more people die... even if her actions threaten her future with Devon."-- No library descriptions found. |

It's been a while since I read one of these mysteries, but I fell back into Rosalind's world with ease. These books continue to be a fun mysteries with lots of excellent Regency era details. I really enjoyed the direction the mystery went and appreciated how Wilde resolved the situation with Devon. I'll definitely continue on with the series. (
