"The missing Diamond" is the first book in the new regency mystery series "The crown jewels".
I found the characters well written and the story well thought out. Roland is back from war to face his duties as the heir to a Duke, whereas Grace is navigating her first season with the help of her friend Charity.
The servants Thorne and Elsie were a really nice addition to the plot and so were the sprouts, which will for sure bloom in future adventures.
The mystery was so well plotted I did not guess who the culprit was until the very end.
The ending left me curious to see what the future has store for the main characters and I cannot wait to read the next chapter!
Thanks to the author and the publisher for providing me with an ARC.

London, 1813: The marriage season is in full swing. Debutantes have been presented at Court. The Queen has chosen this year's diamond of the first water. Lord Percy, newly back from the war and now first in line to inherit a dukedom, wagers his future on winning the hand of the Queen's favourite, Lady Charity. Until, that is, she disappears. Along with her best friend, Lady Grace, Lord Percy must do everything in his power to foil her abductors, before they are all brought to ruin.

Fake courtships
Amateur sleuths
A hint of scandal
This was a delightful Regency romp. It has exactly the right mix of intrigue and yearning and unwavering loyalty. Charity was a refreshingly pragmatic heroine. The mystery unfurled seamlessly between ballrooms and morning calls, and kept me guessing for quite a long time! I'm looking forward to the next books in this series as I'm eager to see where all these complicated relationships lead.
Perfect for fans of Bridgerton and Georgette Heyer.
