About the Book
Title: A Thieving at Carlton House
Series: Of Cloaks & Daggers #1
Author: Erica Vetsch
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: Kregel Publications
Genre: Regency Mystery Romance
Unlikely alliances form when a killer is on the loose... but who can be trusted?
It's the perfect chance for Bertie to step out of
his brother's long shadow. Unfortunately, his superior, the Duke of Haverly,
has a plan that makes him balk. In order to sell his cover, Bertie must play
the part of a man looking for love, ready to reform his rakish ways.
Philippa Cashel escaped a life as one of society's
best-known courtesans and now devotes her time to helping other women in dire
straits. Her hope is that laboring hard enough at her charity work will allow
her to feel worthy of God's forgiveness of her past. So when Sir Bertrand
Thorndike approaches her about becoming an agent of the Crown, she is
skeptical. Why her? She's focused on getting her school for underprivileged
women up and running, not on cloak-and-dagger skullduggery.
But when two of Philippa's rescued girls become
targets, Philippa risks partnering with Bertie to find the loot and stop a
killer.
My
Thoughts:
A
Thieving at Carlton House by Erica Vetsch is a Regency
mystery with a hint of goodness for people who have been shunned by society.
With heart, Vetsch dives into the characters who want to make a better life for
those who can use it. Readers will enjoy seeing other characters from Vetsch
other novels make an appearance and actually help the plot. The mystery drives
part one of the story, and it was handled nicely. I like the way the mystery
works with the other plot driving the story. Vetsch handles both story lines
nicely. It was nice to see the main characters who were sidelined characters in
the previous books. Really no romance in this edition, but Vetsch did leave a
potential romance on the table. Similarly, I enjoyed the setting. The house
that was being worked on came alive before my imagination. Vetsch does a
wonderful job at crafting a story with heart and a hint of mystery that drove
the storyline. I really enjoyed the story, and need to catch up with the first
three books with these familiar characters. A
Thieving at Carlton House by Erica Vetsch features a mystery and a plot
line that is driven to make life better for others. A nicely handled story. I
recommend it.
