A Scandal in Mayfair by Katharine Schellman

5.0

Another great instalment in the Lady Adler Mystery series from Katharine Schellman!
I always get excited when a new book in the series is released as I continue to grow more and more fond of Lady Adler, her family, and Captain Jack Hartley with each book. 

In this instalment, there are two mysteries for Lady Adler to solve; one involves a young woman who needs assistance to access her inheritance, and the other involves the potential growing of poison in a flower window box. 

Of course, things aren't always what they seem to be, and the two mysteries are actually linked. The way Schellman is able to take us on the journey to build the links and to find a satisfying conclusion is part of the fun of reading mystery books, for me. She builds the evidence into the story in such subtle ways that by the time we reach the conclusion, we know it is the only conclusion to come too, but we don't necessarily get there before Lady Adler and her friends do. 

I look forward to the next book in the series and will continue to recommend this book and series to fellow readers of historical mysteries with some romance in it!
