Thank you to Forever for the advance reader copy and to Hachette Audio for the advance listener copy. These opinions are my own.

Georgina does amazing scholarly research on her archaeological finds. And she lets her cousin Percy take the credit, so she can publish about them. It all works okay until he talks when he shouldn't. And suddenly there are a lot of incorrect rumors about her latest dsicovery, and Percy has gone missing.

This was completely over-the-top, but in a really fun way. I had to suspend disbelief throughout the entire plot. There were coincidences and scenarios that just would never have happened. But take those and add in ridiculous animals, and the whole things was such a delightful romp.

This book puts the comedy way before the historical romance. But it was sweet and featured fun characters, great queer rep, and a wonderful found family that grows with each book in the series. And through it all, it delivers a fairly biting and definitely currently relevant social commentary.

Marisa Calin narrated the audiobook beautifully. I could not put it down.

Georgina Harrington, a secret academic and antiquities scholar, is under the thumb of her awful brother and his wife. She also can't publish her scholarly work under her own name as she is a woman, so she and her cousin Percy have an agreement where she does all the research and writing, and he takes it to the masses. Georgina's brother is set on her marrying, while she is dead set against it. When she makes an important discovery, Percy goes missing, and Georgina's intended, with whom she'd had a previous meeting with, must find Percy while also fighting their feelings for one another.

While I didn't read the first book in this series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone. This was an exciting, funny, and fun jaunt through George I's London. The mystery was fun, the settings exciting, and the romance was perfect. This was my first Violet Marsh book and I liked her writing style and will be reading more of her.

This is my first book I've read by Violet Marsh, and it was an absolute delight. Our Dear Miss H Is On The Case is a wonderful blend of cosy mystery, and regency romance.

Georgina Harrington is an amateur archeologist. She has just found the most important artifact in her career, and entrusts it to cousin Percy. When he goes missing Georgina sets out to find him. She asks Percy's best friend for help. Chaos ensues.

Thank you to Netgalley and Hachette Audio for the advanced listener copy. The narrator Marisa Calin did an amazing job, she kept my interest throughout.

I highly recommend this book, it has wonderful characters, a sweet love story, fun situations and an interesting mystery. This is definitely a 5 star read.

loved the first book in this series and this was also enjoyable, all the side characters and quirks return and it was fun and enjoyable.

Gallop through the English countryside and throughout London as Miss H. searches for her missing cousin and embarks on a grand adventure.

✨ Book Review: OUR DEAR MISS H. IS ON THE CASE by Violet Marsh ✨

Miss Georgina Harrington was once a wallflower and is now considered an old maid without marriage prospects. But she doesn’t care. She carries on her father’s work unearthing antiquities from her family land and publishing her findings (under her cousin’s name). When her cousin goes missing though, everything is upended.

This is a fun Regency-era mystery that’ll keep you guessing and a closed-door romance that delivers great character depth and sizzling tension. There are lots of opportunities to root for the underdog and ample comedic relief.

Violet Marsh's Our Dear Miss H Is On the Case is a blend of Regency romance and cozy mystery, a perfect treat for fans of both Bridgerton's swoon-worthy drama and Miss Marple's astute sleuthing.

Georgina and Alexander's investigation into her missing cousin Percy and a valuable archaeological find quickly escalates into a more complex web of intrigue, interwoven with a classic Regency marriage plot. Marsh balances the romantic tension between Georgina and Alexander with the unfolding mystery, keeping the reader thoroughly entertained.

🗣️Narrator: Marisa Calin voices all the characters with standouts from Georgina, Alexander, and Percy. The reading style brought the text to life, and the author and narrator worked together perfectly. The pacing and flow allowed me to get lost in the story. The narrator paused and announced new chapters and there was a table of contents which helped me follow along.


Summary: When Georgina, her cousin Percy, and his friend Alexander go on an expedition, they find a golden helmet Percy believes is King Arthur's. He shows it around and soon disappears. Georgina and Alexandra work together searching for him while fighting an arranged marriage from their family.

👩🏾 Heroine: Georgina Harrington-25, an archaeologist who uses her cousin's name (Percy) for her antiquity appraisal business in exchange for a small percentage of her commissions.

👨🏾 Hero: Alexander Lovett-Lord Heathford, a future duke, Percy's BFF

🎭 Side Characters:
*Percy Pendergrast-Georgina's cousin
*Algernon-Earl of Craie, Georgina's half-brother, and her guardian + his wife Anne
*Charlotte- Alexander's twin sister + her husband Dr. Matthew Talbot (main couple from LCAGHM)
* Lady Calliope-half-sister to Duke of Blackglen. She takes Georgina into her home and away from her cruel brother

🤔 My Thoughts: I loved the heroine who lived for adventure and discovery. She was smart and resourceful, much cleverer than Alexander. Charlotte and Calliope jumped in and helped Georgina giving her some freedom. The scenes with the animals were hilarious, especially when Alexandra meets with his parents Lady and Lord Falcondale.

🙏🏾Thanks to NetGalley, Forever (Grand Central Publishing), Hachette Audio | Forever, and Violet Marsh for this ARC & ALC! I voluntarily give my honest review, and all opinions are my own.

I truly enjoyed the narration of this novel! I find a great narrator can allow for the book to be changed to any speed and still provide a clear retelling of the story without taking anything away from the experience. I enjoyed the different character voices especially the animals sounds for the various trouble-making furry friends of the characters.

Our Dear Miss H. Is on the Case gave the perfect cozy romance with mystery vibes. It was a quaint story which had me looking forward to reading more by Violet Marsh. I loved Georgina's strength as well as Alexander's determination. They made a great couple not only in the romantic sense but in partners to help find out what had happened to Percy. I loved Alexander's confidence in his abilities as a sportsman and how he wasn't going to allow his club foot and the horrid surgeries his parent's inflicted on him to stop him from enjoying life. I also truly enjoyed the found family of the coffeehouse and the furry friends whose antics made the book even more hilarious. I am also voting with Alexander in the naming of Fluffas Legatis!

This is the second book in this series.
Georgina Harrighton lives in an era where women are not taken seriously. She survived a few social seasons which she believes were a waste of her time. She is a brilliant archaeologist; she inherited her love of excavating from her father. She has written several articles and found several artifacts but is unable to ask for credit for her accomplishments. She turns to her cousin Percy to present and take credit for her work. She should not have trusted him. The world knows him as a talented archaeologist (which is a real joke). When Percy disappears, Georgina knows he is in danger. She turns to Alexander Lovett, Percy’s best friend, for assistance in finding him.
Georgina’s brother is attempting to marry her off. He has arranged a marriage to a man she has never met and doesn’t want to meet. Alexander has similar feelings he has no desire for an arranged marriage. However, he finds himself falling for Georgina; he likes that she is brilliant, a free thinker, and willing to take chances. Georgina is attracted to Alexander. What she doesn’t realize is he is the man her brother wants her to marry.
I like the main characters. Alexander was born with a club foot. He was forced to have surgery after surgery, but the results were minimal to non-existent. His father wanted a perfect son. He was bullied at school. Alexander has learned how to smile and be pleasant even when belittled and mistreated.


Thank you NetGalley for the ARC

What a cute book!!! If you enjoy historical romances and rom-coms, you will love Our Dear Miss H. is on the Case! Georgina Harrington is an archeologist who makes an amazing find, only known to a few! This is including her cousin, who soon goes missing with HER find! Alexander is her cousin’s friend who steps in to help Georgina solve her cousin’s predicament. Georgina and Alexander both find themselves unweaving betrothal plans and also threats to the King. This was a fun book and really good audiobook! The characters were interesting and the plot was so fun to listen to. I can definitely see the relation to Enola Holmes, so if you’re a fan of that you will love this!

Big fan of this one! I loved that this followed a strong and intelligent woman of this era. I believe that these women existed in our history and hid who they were because of reputation or not being taken seriously. I will be honest, it took me a couple of tries to get past the initial chapters. It was hard to keep up with the narrator with some of the names and her brother vs. her cousin and if one was evil or not. I very much liked how the author built the dynamic of the two main characters and allowed for both character development but healing for them both. I think this book sets up a wonderful sequel and I cannot wait to read more!

Our Dear Miss H. Is on the Case by Violet Marsh
Second book in the series, after Lady Charlotte Gets Her Man. Historical mystery and romantic comedy. Diversity in physical form. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Georgina Harrington is an archaeologist. As a woman, she’s forced to use her cousin’s name for her antiquity appraisal business. When he disappears with a valuable discovery, she turns to a friend of his, Alexander Lovett, to help find her cousin.
The future Duke of Falcondale doesn’t want to spend time with Georgina. His manipulative and cruel parents have chosen her as a potential future bride. For most arguments, he would just grin like a fool and move on. But the lovely Georgina needs his help. Together they go on an adventure to find her cousin and the missing artifact. The investigation goes deeper than either of them imagined.

🎧 I alternated between an ebook and an audiobook for this story. The narration is performed by Marisa Calin in a delightfully soft British accent. Her performance brings a lightness of adventure to the reading which made the romance and comedy come alive.
I slowed my playback just a bit to 1.5 to accommodate the accent until I was used to it.

I appreciated the less than perfect Alexander for his uniqueness and acceptance of science to explain his birth defect. I felt bad for everything that his father put him through (off page, in the past) to try to fix it, and admired his ability to live life to the fullest as best he could.
As usual, also upset by the lack of power or legal options for women. Sigh. Can’t change the past.

Loved the rooster craze! Hilarious.

ALC Review: Our Dear Miss H. Is on the Case
Pub date: March 25, 2025
Narrator: Marisa Calin

I read this without reading the first book in the series and think that it worked fine as a standalone. It's a very non-serious historical mystery and romance - the humor was certainly on point and the tone is pretty light.

I thought the relationship between Alexander and Georgina was very cute and sweet! I liked both as characters and loved seeing the physical disability representation (Alexander has a club foot and his parents have never really accepted his 'imperfection').

I'll be honest, towards the end I got relatively lost in terms of the plot - a lot happened and I'm not sure if it was because I wasn't paying attention or if it was just hard to follow generally. It didn't really affect my enjoyment of the book per say, but I truly could not tell you how the plot resolves.

I thought the narrator did a good job.

Thank you to Hachette Audio for the ALC. All thoughts and opinions are my own and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Thank you to Forever Publishing for the eARC and Hachette Audio for the ALC.

I was part way through listening to Our Dear Miss H when I realized that the parrot and monkey were familiar and realized I’d met them in a previous book. A previous book I didn’t love.

But I like to give authors a second chance so I continued. And I’m glad I did. Our Dear Miss H is still pretty ridiculous, full of irreverent humor and unbelievable occurrences. But when you have an adorable rooster named Fluffus Legatus, you can’t help but be charmed.

The romance between Georgina and Alexander is sweet and adorable, and it was clear how smitten they both were. Overall, this was a fun and light historical filled with action, humor, and just enough romance to tie it all together.

This book just didn’t work for me. I like the characters, but there’s no sense of cause-and-effect in the plot. Every time the scene changes, it’s like reading a different book. DNF. I enjoyed the audiobook narration.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC.

First of all, know going in this is the second book in a series (I was not aware of this when I read it). If you are a fan of Enola Holmes (and not just for Henry Cavill), a fan of Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, or the Jane Austen Murder Mystery series you are in for a treat. Georgiana Harrington is a lover of history and archeology, she must write under the pseudonym George Harrington, and she is considered a spinster. Her brother is trying to arrange an advantageous marriage, she is uninterested. Well, until she meets an intriguing man who listens. Will she finally think of marriage because of this man or will she still be independent?

Our Dear Miss H. Is On the Case is the second book in a series of regency romance/mysteries by Violet Marsh. I received an advanced listeners copy of the story from NetGalley and Hachette Audio | Forever.
The book is advertised as being perfect for fans Enola Holmes and Bridgerton. I would have to agree. Georgina Harrington is an intelligent and quirky woman who is ahead of her time. The mystery of Georgina’s missing cousin, her unusual animal friends, and frequent slapstick comedy make this a light and fun listen. Don’t forget about that Bridgerton reference though. You might begin listening to the story and think your kids might enjoy the characters, but be warned there are some steamy moments so not a family road trip listen.
The narrator Marisa Calin did a great job bringing the listener into the time period with her accent and ability to distinguish each character through voice acting. Overall, I would rate the story a 3.5 rounded up to 4. The story and romance are cute and I have to admit that I loved the chicken, but sometimes I forgot that the characters were looking for Piercival because there were so many other things going on.
The epilogue ended with the beginning of another mystery, so it looks like we should be on the lookout for a third in the series.
Thank you NetGalley and Hachette Audio | Forever for allowing me to listen to this ALC in exchange for my honest review.

I received a copy of this audiobook from netGalley for a honest review.

I really enjoyed this humorous, lighthearted yet seriously mysterious historical romance. I'm already looking for the first one to catch up on Charlette's story and I'm looking forward to the next one- that's going to be an interesting romance! I was swept away by this story to England and it's storied past and all the outrageousness that could come from it. If you like Bridgerton you'll love this one.

This was a fun feminist, historical romance that has a Duke and a woman antiquities lover pairing up to track down a missing person and some stolen artefacts while falling in love along the way. There was swoony moments, lots of action and some great spice too. I especially liked that the Duke had a disabled leg and used a cane. Great on audio and perfect for fans of books like Earl's trip by Jenny Holiday or authors like Evie Dunmore and Elizabeth Everett. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review!
