"""Carefully crafted Regency mystery . . . part of an inherently fascinating new series that combines mystery and suspense with elements of Regency era elegance, decadence, adventure, and romance.""-- ""Midwest Book Review"" (3/15/2022 12:00:00 AM) ""Vetsch kicks off her Thorndike and Swann Regency Mysteries with a propulsive tale about a family of spies. . . [Juliette and Daniel's] slow-burning romance comes together naturally as they navigate the glamorous world of debutantes. Fans of Jen Turano will delight in this pleasing mystery and eagerly await the second installment.""-- ""Publishers Weekly"" (9/9/2021 12:00:00 AM) ""A mystery within a mystery within a mystery. Inventive!""--Regina Scott, award-winning author (8/3/2021 12:00:00 AM) ""The Debutante's Code is a delightful and fast-paced visit to the undercover world of espionage in Regency England. Vetsch offers all that we love about her writing in this twisting story: historical details, compelling characters, and an intriguing plot. This is the first in a fascinating new series, and I did not want it to end! I'm thrilled to know we will continue this journey with Lady Juliette Thorndike and Detective Daniel Swann in the next installment.""--Gabrielle Meyer, author of When the Day Comes (8/3/2021 12:00:00 AM) ""The Debutante's Code is alive with Erica Vetsch's hallmark romance and impeccable research, and some of my favorite catnip to boot! A strong and whip-smart heroine, Juliette Thorndike, already stands out in a society of fox hunts and regattas, but when she learns of a fascinating family secret, she is determined to live out the espionage and adventure in her blood. Thrown together with the dashing Daniel Swann, Juliette is cast into a world of The Bow Street Runners, mysterious clues, and danger--all brilliantly spun in Vetsch's strong Regency-authentic voice. The Sanditon and Bridgerton-loving crowd will fall hard for this delightful heroine and dashing hero and the ease with which they appropriate the London ton on their pursuit of growing attraction and twisting and turning adventure. I look forward to many more installments in this exciting new series. Erica Vetsch is at the top of her game!""--Rachel McMillan, author of The London Restoration and The Mozart Code (8/3/2021 12:00:00 AM) ""A compelling, enchanting work of art filled with wit, danger, and clever plot twists, The Debutante's Code kept me turning pages well into the night. A cast of richly sculpted characters, an expertly woven tapestry of mystery and intrigue, and beautifully drawn spiritual truths set against the glittering backdrop of Regency England combine to make Erica Vetsch's latest creation a true masterpiece.""--Amanda Wen, author of Roots of Wood and Stone (8/3/2021 12:00:00 AM) ""Erica Vetsch has done it again, bringing the reader an exciting Regency historical romance, but this time with the twist of a delicious mystery. The Debutante's Code is completely entertaining, with the promise of more delights to come in the rest of the Thorndike & Swann series.""--Jan Drexler, award-winning author of Softly Blows the Bugle (8/3/2021 12:00:00 AM) ""From its delicious title to an intriguing plot involving spies and secret codes in 19th-century England, The Debutante's Code kicks off Erica Vetch's new Thorndike & Swann Regency Mysteries with action, humor, and the promise of romance.""--Julie Klassen, author of Shadows of Swanford Abbey (8/3/2021 12:00:00 AM) ""I am a big Regency romance fan and I love what Erica Vetsch brings to this genre. The suspense on top of the lords and ladies is just excellent fun. And this one, The Debutante's Code, is the best so far. Absolutely impossible to put down once I started.""--Mary Connealy, best-selling author of the High Sierra Sweethearts series (8/3/2021 12:00:00 AM) ""Intrigue abounds in this thrilling tale of a debutante turned spy. Amidst the whirl of stolen art pieces and murder, heroine Juliette Thorndike takes on a dangerous role to break a code before the villains discover it . . . and before the swoon-worthy Officer Daniel Swann figures out she's involved. Author Erica Vetsch once again pens a winner in The Debutante's Code . . . a must-read for Regency and mystery lovers!""--Michelle Griep, Christy Award-winning author of Once Upon a Dickens Christmas (8/3/2021 12:00:00 AM) ""Reminiscent of Jane Austen and Arthur Conan Doyle, with a tip of the hat to Georgette Heyer, The Debutante's Code abounds with all the elements of an unputdownable spy story--stolen art, secret codes, characters who are not all they first appear--and plenty of twists to keep readers turning pages late into the night. Erica Vetsch delivers a fast-paced and utterly riveting read set against the elegance and intrigue of Regency high society, destined to captivate longtime fans and capture the hearts of new readers. I'm eagerly anticipating Lady Juliette Thorndike and Daniel Swann's next adventure.""--Amanda Barratt, author of My Dearest Dietrich and The White Rose Resists (8/3/2021 12:00:00 AM)"
