A cute little novella featuring my favourite medieval amateur detective, Rosaline Montague. Rosie's sister and Princess Isabella venture out into fair Verona disguised as boys and Isabella loses a diamond ring that she should have left at home. Worse still, the loss happened in a house of ill repute that the girls were too innocent to recognize. As they are not-so-quietly freaking out, Rosie discovers them and vows that she will fix things.
Can she successfully disguise herself? Can she plot a way to get the ring back from the nefarious Count Prospero without her recently acquired fiancé, Prince Escalus, finding out? Can she shield Isabella from his displeasure?
I wish I could have read this before the second book, Thus With a Kiss I Die. But it was still a pleasure and when I inevitably reread that volume, I will at last have all the details. I do adore Lady Rosie and hope to read many more of her adventures.
