Dear Fellow Reader,

The bright sunshine is deceiving. It is COLD. I just don’t want to leave the house.

You know how it is, the little things that can be so wonderful? I don’t remember how, but I discovered last year that if I left the bathroom door closed, it would warm up in there. It is a game-changer! How delightful to get out of the shower and dry my hair in a warmer room. You may have known this before, but I am feeling pretty brilliant about it.

Today we are talking about Revenge, Served Royal: A Mystery. This is the third book in the Lady Petra Inquires series. I reviewed the other two books. (Book 1 – Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord and Book 2 – All’s Fair in Love and Treachery) In this installment, Lady Petra is at Windsor Castle to be a judge in the Queen’s inaugural patisserie contest. When one of her fellow judges is found murdered with Petra’s maid’s ne’er-do-well brother, Oliver, standing over him, Petra has to fight the clock to make sure that Annie’s brother is proven innocent. (at least of that crime…) Oliver tells Petra that there is a scandalous document hidden in the castle, so she knows she needs to find that, too. Petra’s favorite, Aunt Ophelia, seems to be involved in the case, and she keeps avoiding Petra.

This series takes place in the Regency period, which is not a historical time that I usually read about, and I find the books interesting for that reason. I have enjoyed all three books, and I recommend them.

Thanks for reading!
