I confess, I don\u2019t know where to start this review, there\u2019s so much to the novel that will draw in readers. Should I mention that Regency era-set novels are usually romances, so a mystery that unfolds in the era is a particular treat? Or maybe that the main character, Lady Petra\u2014in her third series outing here\u2014wears lock picks and a dagger beneath her gowns? (Feisty!) How about the baking competition that will attract lovers of The Great British Bake Off and cozies featuring baking? Well, I\u2019m still no closer to an answer, but I will say that readers should pick this up and be ready for delicious treachery, lies, and scandal when everyone who\u2019s anyone in Regency Britain descends on Windsor Castle.<\/strong> They\u2019re excited for a week of diversion that includes a competition to decide the best cook in any aristocratic house in the kingdom. Lady Petra\u2019s stint as a judge is interrupted by the murder of one of the other judges and the sleuthing is on. Try Connally\u2019s previous works in the series (All\u2019s Fair in Love and Treachery; Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord<\/em>) while waiting for this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
