Reviews
Praise for A Useful Woman "Clever and witty. Wilde artfully portrays Regency London, from its ballrooms to Bow Street, in all its glory and hypocrisy, and provides readers with a heroine worthy of our attention. With its colorful cast and scandalous intrigue, A Useful Woman would surely have set the famed patronesses of Almack's atwitter."--Anna Lee Huber, national bestselling author of the Lady Darby Mysteries "Well-drawn characters and a perfect plot make this historical mystery a winner."--Nancy Haddock, national bestselling author of Basket Case "A wonderfully entertaining Regency mystery romance, and I really enjoyed it. With a cleverly cunning plot and characters that are engaging and witty, I was easily enfolded in the dangers and subterfuge of the ton. Rosalind is a strong, determined character who knows what it is like to carry the world on her shoulders--very intelligent and savvy....With plenty of twists and turns, and romance thrown in to boot, A Useful Woman by Darcie Wilde is a delight to read, and I look forward to the next in the series."--Fresh Fiction "Wilde brings the haut monde of early nineteenth-century London to vivid life, and the characters she peoples it with are complex individuals whose basic decency, or lack of it, is carefully hidden behind a facade of manners and propriety."-- Publishers Weekly

Suddenly, Rosalind is plunged into the middle of one of the most sensational murder trials London has ever seen..., The Rosalind Thorne Mysteries--inspired by the novels of Jane Austen--continue as the audacious Rosalind strives to aid those in need while navigating the halls of high society... Rosalind Thorne has slowly but assuredly gained a reputation as "a useful woman"--by helping respectable women out of some less-than-respectable predicaments.

Suddenly, Rosalind is plunged into the middle of one of the most sensational murder trials London has ever seen, and her client's husband is the prime suspect. With the help of the charming Bow Street runner Adam Harkness, she must drop the curtain on this fatal drama before any more lives are ruined., Next in a historical mystery series featuring the charming and resourceful Rosalind Thorne, a woman privy to the secrets and scandals of high society in Jane Austen's England.
