An Invitation to Murder is the first book in a delightful new series, the Lady Katherine Regency Mysteries by Leighann Dobbs and Harmony Williams. This is the first book I have read set during the Regency period. Combined with the classic cozy mystery features I found the book enthralling and it fully held my attention. The protagonist, Lady Katherine Irvine is determined to follow in her father’s footsteps as a private detective. The “Pink Ribbon Murders” of two debutantes in London remain unsolved and Lady Katherine is determined to find the perpetrator. Every great protagonist has a great cover story or activities. Lady Katherine’s claim to fame is that of a successful matchmaker for young women within the aristocracy. The characters are developed and portray their roles in the way of that period in history. The plot is well crafted with multiple twists and turns that keep the reader guessing. Scattered throughout the book There were words, phrases and regional terms which added to the historical setting and relevance within the plot. If you’ve never read a book of the Regency genre and love cozy mysteries, this is a perfect introduction to that combination. Filled with humor, suspense and intrigue, this is a book you don’t want to miss! I’m looking forward to further adventures of Lady Katherine. 5 stars for this first in a new series book.
