About the Author

After retiring from a legal career with the Juvenile Court System, J.L. Buck published sixteen urban fantasy/paranormal novels under a pen name. In 2019 she decided to write in a mystery genre and period of history she had always enjoyed, and she began work on the Viscount Ware Mystery series. She lives in the Midwest with Latte, a mischievous Siamese cat, who often attempts to co-author her writing by taking over the keyboard. When not writing or running two blogs, Ms Buck enjoys her eight grandchildren (and a great-grandson), reading (preferably on a sunny deck), travel (USA and abroad from Africa to Europe to the British Isles to Disney World in Florida), and binge-watching any sub-genre of mystery shows.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Regency Mystery!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    I thoroughly enjoyed this book by a new (to me) author. Lucien, a spy for the Crown, is summoned by his grandmother to find a missing young woman. While looking into the case on his spare time, he's invited to stay at Margret Barnett's house for the week as part of a party. Margret is a friend of Lady Anne's, and the lovely Lady Anne is Lucien's friend as well as a great help in the investigation. She's also a possible love interest to Lucien. It just so happens the Barnetts are neighbors to the residence where the missing girl Lucy was employed. Odd neighbors they are, and the mysteries escalate. As the mystifying clues go deeper, more questions arise. Plenty of twists and turns, danger, murder and so much more!

    I enjoyed Lady Anne's logical outlook and sleuthing skills that seemed to be a good balance to Margret's spontaneous personality. Anne's bravery in seeking out Lucy, as well as another missing young woman's whereabouts became an additional mystery within this well written book. Margret's parents also become involved in finding the missing women, and an unexpected HEA is much appreciated. A few typos, but they did not interfere with the reading.

    I heartily recommend this Regency romance! This was a standalone book. I did not read the first book in the series, but I so thoroughly enjoyed "The Dead Cannot Hide" that I intend to read the first book in the near future.

    I received a complimentary ARC of this book and have voluntarily given my honest opinion in this review.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good second book in series
    Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2023

    This is the second in the series and it's quite good. The characters are reasonable and the story moves along well. It follows a standard pattern but its well done. There are a few spots where a proofreader could or should have spotted some minor errors but the plot moves along despite them.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Thrill ride
    Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    Hang on to your seat for a thrill ride. A plot that includes lots of action with treason, murder, mayhem, and a small serving of romance between Lucien and Lady Anne.

    The story commences with Lucien; Viscount Ware being summoned by his grandmother to assist in locating a missing girl (Lucy Drayton), who has not been heard from since accepting the governess position at Harwick Hall in Blinker's Marsh. While investigating, Lucien stays with Sir George Barnett and family at Barnett Park where Lady Anne, his love interest, is visiting her best friend, Margret Barnett. Lady Anne is an intelligent young lady with an exceptional memory that comes in handy when assisting with the investigation. Said investigation takes a dark turn when a dead body turns up and the hunt for the killer ensues with Lucien engaging the help of his long-time colleague "Sherry" (Sherbourne) and many others. Expect twists and turns, before the story ends and the perpetrators are brought to justice. This book will keep you up all hours of the night as it is so engrossing!

    5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent mystery with a delightful romance
    Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    The second book in the Viscount Ware series is just as good as the first. Given what seems like a simple task from his grandmother, finding out what happened to a young woman who disappeared, Lord Ware ends up at a house party with Lady Anne Ashburn, who is more than eager to help him with this new mystery.

    Once again, Ms. Buck gives us a story that is a real page turner. I literally couldn't put it down until I finished the last page. The mystery was full of twists and turns and action and had a satisfying conclusion. The characters are well-developed, and relatable. My favorite part of the book, though, is the relationship between Lord Ware and Anne. Their friendship continues to grow as they each explore the possibility of a courtship.

    I can't recommend this book enough. I absolutely loved it! But you should definitely read the first book in the series, The Dead Betray None, before reading this one.

    4.0 out of 5 stars More than one mystery
    Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    What at the beginning was a simple investigation turned into a complicated and very dangerous situation where the safety of many was at stake. Interesting and entertaining how Lucien and Anna were discovering the mystery and I liked the logical and deductive way of thinking of both. A story with compelling characters, action, suspense, mystery, emotions of sadness and helplessness, violence and a budding romance. I would have liked a little more interaction between Lucien and Anna and hope things move forward in the next book. I voluntarily reviewed this copy that I received for free from BookSirens.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice mystery
    Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    I haven’t read the first book in this series, but didn’t feel too lost in the relationship between Lord Ware and Lady Anne. I enjoyed how they interacted together, helping one another. The mystery o& the missing governess leads to finding a group of French sympathizers who are bent on treason. Then there is the mystery of the village girl who was raped. All in all it was a good read. The only trouble I had was some of the time line, such as when Ware was in the cave at night but could still see the contents clearly without a lantern. I do want to go back and read the first book and am looking forward to the third one. I received an ARC for an honest review.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023

    I am not sure how I feel about his book. I did like Ware, but Anne and Margaret got a little annoying with their know it all attitude. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about intelligent and independent women, but these 2 seemed a little too contrived.

    The mystery and pace of the book was okay. There are some typos e.g. Eton spelled as Eaton etc…

    Overall a decent read, but I'm not sure this series would be one I would get very enthusiastic about.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fun plot filled with interesting historical facts
    Reviewed in Australia on February 15, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I loved the first Viscount Ware Mystery, and the second in the series is equally enjoyable. Set during a volatile time in Britain during the time of Regency. Lord Ware continues to undertake work in hunting out French Spies. This story starts with his grandmother asking him to discover what has happened to a young woman who disappeared. This innocent investigation leads him to a home outside London for a house party and to reconnect with the clever, brilliant Lady Anne. The plotting is tight and intriguing, and the growing attraction between Lucien and Ann is sweet and enjoyable to read. I found the book easy to read, keeping me reading late into the night. I hope the series continues as Lucien reconnects with his estranged father and his growing attraction to Ann. But best of all, Lucien is a beautiful character, and I enjoy following his investigations.
