Summary

A shooting party at the Earl of Witton’s remote country house is a high treat for champion shot Patricia Merton - until unexpected guests turn the social atmosphere dangerously sour.  

That’s not Pat’s biggest problem. She’s visiting her old friend, the Earl’s heir Jimmy Yoxall - but she wants to spend a lot more time with Jimmy’s fiancée. The irrepressible Miss Fenella Carruth, with her laughing eyes and lush curves, is the most glorious woman Pat’s ever met, and it quickly becomes impossible to remember why she needs to stay at arm’s length.  

But while the women’s attraction grows, the tensions at Rodington Court get worse. Affairs, secrets, betrayals, and blackmail come to light. And when a body is discovered with a knife between the shoulderblades, it’s going to take Pat and Fen’s combined talents to prevent the murderer destroying all their lives.

New favourite!

Absolutely adored this one. I initially thought Miss Singh was going to be the love interest and was a little disappointed she didn't get more to do in the story. I love Fen and Pat though. Their romance is wonderful, and in typically KJ Charles fashion we get a delightful little murder mystery for them to solve.

KJ Charles on reliably excellent form

This is, alas, the only f/f book KJ Charles has penned to date, but it’s entirely delightful. It’s a prequel to Think of England, one of my favourites of hers, and explores how Pat and Fen got together - a story rife with fraught dinner parties, closeted queerness, kindness, unkindness, and the occasional corpse.

The narrator does a very good job of bringing the characters to life.

Regency for Adults

A very enjoyable listen with interesting characters and a good plot. Out of the ordinary. Worth keeping.
