Praise for Darcie Wilde's Rosalind Thorne mysteries
“Rosalind carries the soul of Sherlock Holmes in the world of
Elizabeth Bennet, and it’s a hard combination to beat.”
—BookPage
"A complex, enthralling mystery that rivals those of
Anne Perry and Agatha Christie.”
—New York Journal of Books
“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
“The Regency frame is skillfully woven through a story that
features surprising plot twists and an engaging subplot concerning
Rosalind’s dilemma over whom to marry—Harkness or a duke who will
allow her to reclaim her past.”
—Booklist
“Captivating. . . . Wilde smoothly mixes historical figures and
events into a plot that’s sure to keep readers turning the pages to
see what happens next. Regency fans will be charmed.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Rosalind is an interesting, dare I say ‘plucky’ heroine, a
once-rich girl now lowered to live by her wits. She still follows
the strict etiquette of her time and lost position, no matter the
cost. The asides on what is proper in each situation are amusing,
reminiscent of Jane Austen . . . I thoroughly enjoyed this novel
and look forward to the next book in the series.”
—The Historical Novel Society
"Complex social networks spark an equally complex puzzle."
—Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
"In Darcie Wilde's popular Rosalind Thorne Mystery series set in
Regency England, the starchy manners and sparkling repartee of Jane
Austen's genteel country society hide sinister
secrets. Rosalind is intelligent, empathetic, and
likable.”
—Mystery Scene Magazine
