A Scandal in Mayfair (Lily Adler Mystery #5) by Katharine Schellman

About the Book:

Sometimes danger lurks in plain sight, and in the cutthroat London Season socialite Lily Adler must race against time to catch a killer.

Fans of Bridgerton will delight in this Regency-era mystery featuring an intrepid sleuth, plenty of intrigue, and a touch of romance.

London, 1817. The London Season is beginning once more, and Lily Adler’s return to her home on Half Moon Street feels different this year. No longer a recent widow, she has a life and friends waiting for her. Lily also has new responsibilities in the form of her protégée Amelia, the sister of her longtime friend Jack Hartley, who is escaping her own brush with scandal and murder.

It doesn’t take long for Lily’s growing reputation as a lady of quality who can discreetly find what is missing or solve what is puzzling to bring a desperate young woman to her doorstep. But helping her means unraveling a tangled web of family secrets. Soon, a missing will, a dead body and the threat of blackmail leave Lily facing danger every way she turns. 

The glittering society of Mayfair conceals many secrets, and the back alleys of London hide even more. Lily Adler will need to find the connection between them quickly if she wants to stop a killer before it’s too late.

Week in Review:

Well, it was still pretty warm for much of the week, but looking ahead at the coming days, the forecast looks very Fall-like. I can’t wait. It was a wonderful reading week, and we saw The Mousetrap at our high school. It was so well done. I had never seen it before. Yesterday my husband and I celebrated 22 years of marriage. 

Something I’m Looking Forward To:

No school this coming Friday! So excited for everyone to have a day off. Fall parties happen at my son’s school this week as well and the coming weekend looks wide open.

  1. We have already had fall weather here in Ohio, and some mornings we have seen 37 degrees, not quite ready for it to be that chilly yet! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    It’s been warm here, too, but we are looking forward to some cooler days ahead. And maybe hurricane season is finally over.

    A Scandal in Mayfair is set in an intriguing time. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.
