My Review

The Debutante’s Code is a Regency mystery series with a captivating story filled with twists, turns and lots of mysteries. It took me several chapters to get into The Debutante’s Code. I can not even fathom being away from home for seven years to return and face disappoint me to find no parents to welcome me back. No father to share his wisdom, no mother to help Lady Juliette get ready for her debut. Uncle Bertie, a drunkard is there for her. The night of Lady Juliette debut into society there is a theft of artwork which changes her world and what she thought was truth. Pull up a chair and get ready to be pulled into a story of murder and espionage.

I was provided a copy of this novel through the Read with Audra. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
