Publisher's Summary

"Oh to be as beautiful as Euphemia!" plain Jane Hart sighs when she joins her sister Euphemia at Number 67 Clarges Street for the season. Then Lord Tregarthan might notice her, as she had noticed him and forever lost her heart to the most eligible bachelor of the town. But Euphemia’s fate is to flirt through balls and into the arms of a marquis, while Jane’s is to stay home, amusing herself with snooping into the strange death of Miss Clara Vere-Baxton, a former tenant of Number 67 - until the downstairs staff transforms a plain Miss into the season’s sensation and sends her waltzing dangerously close to the secret of Clara’s demise and into a daring liaison with the lord of her dreams.

Exactly what I wanted

This book is a fun one. The story is light, frothy read with a bit or romance and a bit of mystery and danger. It is predictable, but not in a bad way. The real standout is unity and strong family sense of the below stairs characters. It makes me want to track down the rest of the books in this series.
