Reviews

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 Almacks 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
