A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem - Book Review

A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem by Manda Collins

Let us travel back to 1865 and meet Lady Katherine Bascomb. She has inherited her late husband’s newspaper and has had an active role as a columnist ever since. When she sees that the local police are not doing what she deems a good job, she gets involved and teams up with Caro Hardcastle to investigate and starts an article in her newspaper to inform women of the situation at hand.  All seems to be working in her favour, until the wrong man is arrested, and she has angered the investigating officer, Andrew Eversham. When Lady Katherine is asked to take a step back, she does just the opposite, she dives headfirst into what soon becomes a life threatening situation. Has she hindered more than she has helped, or will Andrew see that she can be very useful in solving the case? What will happen when they start having feelings for one another? Can they put personal feeling aside to solve the crime?

This first book in the new “A Lady’s Guide” series by Manda Collins was a definite page turner. I loved Lady Katherine’s strong, witty and independent character. She is someone who knows what she wants and is not afraid to show it. It was especially insightful given the timeline of the 1800’s. I adored the banter between her and Andrew and was found giggling out loud more than once. The mystery had me guessing throughout the story and I applaud Ms. Collins brilliant writing style. My thanks to Forever Publishing for my advanced readers copy that I voluntarily read and reviewed.
