Lady Helena Investigates by Jane Steen (Tuesday Intros & Teaser Tuesday)

Amazon description:

"First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros" is from the first paragraph or two of a book being read now (or in the future) and is hosted by I'd Rather Be At The Beach. "Teaser Tuesday" at The Purple Booker asks for a random line or two from anywhere in the book currently being read.

I do so love a good historical mystery with a bit of romance and a strong female lead ... although it takes a bit of convincing on Lady Helena's part. The sixth of seven children, she's referred to as "Baby" by her siblings and treated as such -- even by her younger brother. Being newly widowed (was it an accidental death or murder, though?), she's determined to stand on her own. I love that even though there is the mystery angle, this is just as much or more about her learning how to do that with so much that could stand in her way. I can't wait to see where the series takes her next!

I love a good mystery and usually enjoy stories of characters finding themselves so I would probably keep reading. See what I'm featuring at Girl Who Reads

This one does sound delightful. The excerpts showed us a bit about some of the characters. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “THE LOST FOR WORDS BOOKSHOP”

This book does sound good and I think the cover is very nice. I like books set in Victorian times.

She sounds like a great character and I would keep reading.

Good teaser. And the cover is attractive. I'd keep reading. My Teaser is from an urban fantasy title.
