"The Debutante's Code" by Erica Vetsch [with giveaway!]

Lady Juliette Thorndike returns to England after years away at boarding school, eager to reunite with her parents and be presented for her first season. But when she arrives to find her parents mysteriously away and her care given over to her tippler of an uncle, she doubts how much her family really cares for her. Her life becomes even more complicated when a theft occurs at her debut ball, and she realizes she may be more connected to the case than she ever imagined.

Daniel Swann's life has taken a twisty road, but at long last he's been given his first full case as a Bow Street detective. The string of thefts from wealthy homes, complete with a murder to tie them together, have him completely puzzled. But one thing is certain—everywhere he turns, there is Lady Juliette. What does she know about this crime spree? Could she possibly be involved?

I confess that I'm not a huge fan of mysteries, so while I enjoyed this book, I believe those who like this genre would find it more appealing. I also never really became a huge fan of either main character. However, the historical detail and setting was very well-researched, and as I love Regency stories, there was plenty that I found to like within the pages.

This is the first book in Erica Vetsch's new series. If you like this one, be sure to watch for the second book to be released in 2022.
