The Ruby Dagger: A Crown Jewels Regency Mystery (The Crown Jewels Regency Mysteries Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Lynn Morrison (Author), Anne Radcliffe (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 1,046 ratings

Deadly intrigue meets royal expectations when murder comes for the crown.

London, 1813. In the gilded corridors of St James's Palace, Lord Percy and Lady Grace face a mystery that could shake the throne itself. A murder and audacious theft of the Prince Regent’s new ruby dagger thrusts them back into a web of deception and treachery.

Tarnished by his past behaviour, Lord Percy is focused on regaining favour with the Ton. When the queen demands he deliver the murderer and the stolen gift, he cannot refuse.

Lady Grace sees her chance to prove her value to the crown. She’ll do anything to avoid endless weeks of ballrooms and beaus, even if that means being in close quarters with the man pledged to her best friend.

As Lord Percy and Lady Grace wade deeper into London's underbelly, love and loyalty will face the ultimate trial. Especially since this culprit is willing to spill blood.

In a society where everyone has an agenda, and half the ton is suspect, they will need to watch each other’s backs. If they cannot unveil the criminal mastermind, this time it will cost them more than their reputations.

    Grace and Roland are back with a complex mystery and even more complicated relationship. After stumbling upon a body in the throne room during a state dinner, the two are once again thrown together to solve the crime quickly and with the utmost discretion. Although I had my suspicions about the culprits in this outing, I was engaged in the investigation and did not have the complete picture until the facts were revealed. While I am reminded repeatedly why I love to read about but never want to live in Regency England, these are two of my favorite protagonists, and this series is nothing short of addictive. I await Book 3 in the series with equal amounts of excitement and trepidation since it will conclude Grace and Roland's story, but I know it will be a compelling read, and I have it on good authority (both Lynn Morrison and Anne Radcliffe) that the pair will still be around in future books. I highly recommend this cozy-historical-mystery-romance.

    3.0 out of 5 stars not as good as the first in the series
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    While I finish the book, and it is brisk read, I found that the story was not as intriguing or compelling as the first. The queen is unrealistically satisfied to let Grace participate in a murder investigation, something much more serious than the disappearance of her friend in the first book of the series. This book felt more formulaic: the mystery is presented, there are too few suspects, the queen and her son are continually angry that no progress is being made, etc.

    There were several typos in this book as well as difficulties with verbiage. For example, the authors wrote that Roland had “little acquaintances” rather than “few acquaintances.“

    The end of the story does provide a good deal of satisfaction, tying off loose ends that remained from the first book. Again, as with the previous book, there is no foul language, no sexual content, and no gory descriptions of the murder or sustained injuries. Roland and Grace continue to be likable. And while this book dragged a little, it is a relatively easy read; it is interesting and does leave one guessing until all is revealed. I would imagine that most people that read the book will find it a satisfying tale.

    The interaction between the two major characters was enjoyable to witness. Throw in together in an intriguing calamity to solve a mystery, brought them to discover not only their own hidden depths, but to realize their their perfect partner in each other. The reader gets to experience this surprise, not because its obvious, but because of the expertise of the author in kindling it out of each of them in surprising ways.

    Any who is not particular about British title intricacies will find the era well presented. Another series with a courageous, yes also witty and spunky who finds her talent in crime solving. The hero is perfect for Grace and the side characters just add to a Goodreads.
    the royal family does little to impress me, but they don’t detract from the methods the key characters use investigating. I am putting 3rd book in my next read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery and a little romance.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 19, 2025

    I have just reread this book and I enjoyed it more on the second read. I do like Lady Grace, she is not afraid of doing things that could land her in trouble and is brave as well. She is the complete opposite to Roland, Lord Percy. There is a mystery murder to solve and also how Grace feels about how her friend, Charity is going to marry the man Grace loves. I do like a mystery and romance story and I’ve got the next two books to read, which I’m looking forward to.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Some really good research
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 9, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Normally, I can get really annoyed by lots of poor research. In these books it is really good but there were some errors that grated slightly. The main one was the use of the title Lord or Lady when people were not entitled to it. Lady Grace, for example, does not appear to be the daughter of a Duke or an Earl. She should, therefore, be called Miss Grace Tillbury. There were other things that grated but generally not too bad at all.
