Reviews for Nobody's Sweetheart Now: The First Lady Adelaide Mystery

Set in England in 1924, this promising series launch...is...frothy fun. --Publishers Weekly A lively debut filled with local color, red herrings, both sprightly and spritely characters, a smidgen of social commentary, and a climactic surprise. --Kirkus Reviews Nobody's Sweetheart Now is a clever, charming mystery that perfectly captures 1920s society...sure to appeal to fans of Ashley Weaver or Rhys Bowen. Likable characters, a well-paced plot and an intriguing detective make Nobody's Sweetheart Now an excellent first entry in this delightful mystery series from Maggie Robinson. --Jessica Howard Shelf Awareness
