The Abduction of Rosalind Thorne
by Wilde, Darcie
Rosalind Thorne occupies a precarious position in Regency London. Once a debutante, she is now a woman of limited means who survives by performing delicate, often unsavory favors for the city's elite. When a young woman vanishes from a high-society ball, Rosalind is pulled into a web of blackmail and scandal that threatens to expose her own carefully guarded history. The narrative moves with a brisk, sophisticated energy, balancing the rigid etiquette of the drawing room with the gritty reality hidden just behind the curtain. It is an atmospheric, character-driven mystery that prioritizes sharp dialogue and social maneuvering over blood and gore. This is an ideal pick for readers who appreciate an observant, resilient heroine who must navigate the treacherous, unspoken rules of the ton to find the truth.
