I started this series on book seven, fell in love with it and am in the process of reading and re-reading them all from the beginning to the most recently released – started the prequel (Pickpocket’s Apprentice) and with my teenage kids. Each of their these books could be read on their own but are so much richer as a series! The author truly has done her work on the historical side of these adding to that her character and plot building skills and it really makes this a gem of a series. This boom was particularly fun as Lady Feildhurst is sent to Scotland with her nephews to get out of the public eye for a while and they go off route on their own fun adventure to the coast and she goes under the name of Mrs. Pickett to fly under the social radar…. what could possibly go wrong with that?!
The narrator is absolutely perfect for Mr. Pickett’s character and he does fantastic job with the rest of the characters. His differentiation between characters and acting skills are top-notch.
These are clean reads with no bad language or graphic violence but the romance side story PG13… I would say teen and above as Bow Street also deals with the “ladies of the night” and there are some insinuations and topics that come up with that and the adulterous habits of the upper class.
