A plain-ish, somewhat insecure heroine and dashing rake, and a mystery to boot! I enjoyed this one 3.5 stars) ( )

Horatia Carmichael wants to find out who killed her brother, she knows he was up to some investigative work with a friend, she deciphered the codes for him. Now she's trying to get that friend to help her discover who did it, or ordered it done, but Lord Devizes has a reputation and hers is going to be changed by association. Pretending to work together and to be a couple helps but can they keep from getting involved.
I enjoyed this story with characters who sparked well off each other. She's quite smart and doesn't let him forget it, even if she is hiding somewhat. She has more patience than me, I'd be more annoyed if someone removed my glasses! ( )
