This is most definitely a “sweet” lighthearted Regency romp, in which a wilful young heroine cannot understand the mysterious disappearance of her cousin whilst he was en route from London to the family estate. Determined to investigate whether his delay is intentional or something dreadful has happened to him, bold and wilful, she sets out alone in a manner most unbecoming of a gentlewoman. Even so, her disguise draws the wrong attention at a wayside inn, and there the mystery deepens, as a gallant young man steps centre stage and becomes embroiled in her brave escapade.
This is a rollicking "short novella" written in the style of an essay, and perfect for a spare moment read!
