Book 1: HIDDEN IN THE HEART
Forced from London society, spirited Lydia Bramwell arrives in the sleepy village of Diddlington expecting boredom — not murder. When a young woman is found dead in the woods, Lydia’s curiosity draws her into an intriguing mystery involving smugglers, secrets, and a dangerously charming (and infuriating) gentleman named John Savidge.
Book 2: THE UNFORGIVING EYE
When spirited newlyweds Lydia and John Savidge stop at Fallowfield House to deliver a simple birthday gift, they expect polite conversation and a cup of tea — not a corpse, a pistol, and a murder accusation. With a man’s life at stake and the household steeped in secrets, it becomes clear that more than one resident has something to hide — and someone would kill to keep their secrets buried.
Book 3: THE WHISPERING TONGUES
Anthea Halliwell’s life has been shaped by whispers and scandal. When a sudden proposal from the enigmatic Gideon Rodrigo offers her a chance at respectability, she seizes it — but the past won’t stay buried. Now it’s up to Lydia and John Savidge to help uncover the truth behind a long-unsolved crime, before the shadows of suspicion close in again.

About the author
Beth Andrews
15 books12 followersLibrarian note:
There is more than one author with this name
Beth Andrews (a.k.a. Paul Bethel) was born and raised in Nassau, Bahamas. At the age of about seven, “Beth” was reading completely inappropriate tales of murder and love in True Detective and True Romance magazine. It wasn't long before he started writing stories, often with a strong note of satire. Graduating to Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen, Regency romance and mystery was a natural progression—though Paul still pens occasional contemporary stories and song lyrics just for fun, as well as non-fiction articles and essays for Jane Austen’s Regency World. Paul also enjoys music, gardening, travel (pre-pandemic, of course) and the beach. His ebooks are now published by Joffe Books in the UK and Regency Reads in Oregon.

Cost and gripping mysteries.
Memorable vividly drawn characters, well plotted mysteries, featuring two problem solvers who are instantly likeable and have a heartwarming relationship. The romantic scenes are spot on for the period and moving. A very easy five stars.

I loved these stories so much, that if the book were available in paper I'd consider adding it to my permanent library. The villains are dastardly and unrepentant. The young sleuths are both brave and clever, and their witty banter is a joy to read. Highly recommended.

This series what cute and fun. A tad slow in places. Although, the 3rd book, definitely the best one of the three.
If your wanting a semi-cozy read with a bit of danger, this is for you.

Intriguing series
One of the few books I had not completely figured out the "who done it". Look forward to reading more Bet Andrews books.
