The Scandal in Honor

A very good historical mystery!
I loved the style of writing, the cast of characters, and the descriptions of the historical setting.
The mystery is solid and kept me guessing till the end.
Recommended!
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC

This book was interesting, had a good plot line, yet; it fell short of being great. I believe it was due to the fact of not knowing anything about the Marquis, how old is he, who is Mrs. S to him, who is Willy? There are many unanswered questions; if you have not read the prior books, which I have not. If Trev had truly loved Jane, he would never have allowed his vile cousin to blackmail him. I liked Trev; he needs to grow up, man up, quit drowning his sorrows in alcohol! It makes him look immature and cowardly. I did like the premise of the story and would like to read the next one. Thank you Netgalley.
I recommend!.

It has been two years since the duel that changed Julian, Lord Trevelin's life. He is now happily betrothed to Miss Jane Leavitt, a wealthy debutante. Her influence has helped to restore his reputation among Society. Her father, however, won’t let them set a date for the wedding.
Meanwhile, Trev is taken with the rumours about Miss Hannah Andersen, a young lady newly arrived in London for the season. Her military father was said to have put a period to his existence in order to escape the consequences of fleeing a battle with his wife and child. She, however, insists his death was an accident. Trev can't resist attempting to set the man's reputation to rights. He is assisted by his ethereal friend, Willy, and the boot boy-cum-valet, Jack, here’s also his elderly neighbour Mrs S.
This is the first book I’ve read by the author & I was interested enough to want to read the first book & look forward to the next surely things will be resolved as this book left me feeling sad. An enjoyable read that kept my interest all the way through even though at times it wasn’t a comfortable read. The characters were well portrayed & generally had plenty of depth.

My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Honor has been Lord Trevelin's downfall. His penchant for looking into murders, missing jewellery has not endeared him to his future father in law who refuses to settle a date for his nuptials. He is not very happy with his future son in law despite his daughter's entreaties to set a date.

Now our Lord is about to be drawn into another mystery - one which does not bode well for his relationship with his fiancee, because the main person in the mystery is a young, unencumbered lady whose antecedents are a bit vague and whose presence in society is also not very certain.

Two sudden deaths in one household are certainly suspicious and the suspects are many. Lord Trevelin is involved in the pursuit of justice and in the end it is to his detriment because he is forced to give up his love as well.

A Regency era mystery which did not end happily ever after sadly but was an entrancing tale nevertheless.

The Scandal in Honor is a great historical mystery/romance. Miss Jane Leavitt is betrothed to the Marquis of Trevelin and it is a love match. Miss Jane's father keeps postponing the wedding because Lord Trevelin is an investigator for certain people. He has heard of Miss Anderson whose father was killed and some people thought it to be a suicide. Since it is hurting her Season and she wishes to find a husband, he thinks that proving that her father did not commit suicide would help her with entering society. He assists with buying her new clothes to help her with Miss Jane's knowledge but not necessarily hyer approval. There are so many twists and turns, secrets and mysteries that it will keep you on your toes. The surprise ending which will lead into the next book was not a cliff hanger but a continuation. I loved the writing and the mystery of this book. I plan to read the next books in the series. I received this book from Net Galley and the publisher for a honest review and no compensation otherwise.
