While this is at the end of the 1800s (1899) rather than the start, this had a BIT of a P&P feel, with gowns and balls and coming out ... Lilly and her situation had the smallest Lydia/Wickham vibe. But this was a murder mystery, and there is an American woman center stage (I went with audio and just had to verify, okay, the Countess of Harleigh is American and wouldn't have an accent, although it is set in Britain, and everyone else does have an accent sans other Americans Lilly/Hattie). 

First person // Past tense  - Basic chronological chapters (21 of them). 

I'm honestly not sure why I didn't enjoy this more than I did. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood? Modern thriller mysteries are ones I struggle with, always trying to guess the "unbelievable twist" and I'm not sure if maybe it's just mysteries in general I don't really care for? We had a number of suspects (one being GRAYSON ... a name I track, it's Hub's name).   I remembered his name, but there were two other "G" names (Graham, George) and I'll admit I struggled a bit trying to remember who was who.  I had to restart at the beginning as IT restarted (going from a later moment, then back in time to the event that started things off) ...

I liked it ... I wouldn't be opposed to continuing on and seeing what else these characters get in to, but I'm also not really committed to following through. They are included in Audible Plus, also available at the library ...  with SO many books out there, I'm betting I don't get around to continuing on with the series. 

Pretty much PG - no proFanity, limited sex talk ... murder?
