I had heard of this author before but wasn't sure how good her books would be. I took a chance on this one and am loving it. Set in England during the reign of Edward III it features a man and woman, Rhys and Catrin who are Welsh and in the employ of the King and Queen. They must work to solve a murder all while dealing with the stigma of being Welsh in an English world. The author is Welsh and clearly knows her history too, making it a great start to what I hope will be an interesting series. She has written others as well.

This is the first in a series by an author I have reviewed before. She has a great newsletter that I get in my inbox and will send advance copies of her new books if you sign up to review them. The Dora and Rex Mysteries series is very popular and is one I started awhile back. In this new series a regency Lord and Lady must work to solve the mystery of the disappearance of a woman dubbed "the missing diamond of the season" before something bad happens to her.

I have read the first two books in this series and I love the locations they are set in. I was a little disappointed that the last book didn't have quite the detailed atmosphere I would like in a book but I'm going to give it another try. Miss Atalanta Ashford is always caught up in a new murder mystery and in this book she helps to solve the murder of an Italian heiress's father, along with dashing race car driver Raoul.
