Publisher Description
A Regency-set comedic caper featuring a book club of meddling spinsters and an assist by a very good dog.
The closest Miss Philippa York has ever come to adventure is her Thursday afternoon reading circle with her fellow bluestockings of the beau monde. That is, until her bosom friend allows a handsome rake to steal a kiss… and he takes her friend’s jewels instead!
With the help of the Wild Wynchesters—a uniquely talented family of caper-committing siblings who don’t let “laws” stop them from righting wrongs—Philippa and her club of delightfully bookish spinsters take on the most celebrated rake of the ton.
They’re clever. He’s a cad. To save the day, all they need to pull off is one little heist…

Super sleuthing
I really love these extra stories about the Wynchester’s and their friends. They are great short reads on their own, but if you are following the series you get a better understanding of the characters. They make me feel as if I’m in there with them solving problems and having fun.
I was happy to find Philippa York was the driving force in this story. She helps out a friend that has been duped by an unscrupulous lord. A group of blue stockings and the Wynchester’s is a collection of characters hard to beat.
I really enjoyed the continued attempts to name the book club.
