Set in an alternative Edwardian England, this is a comedy of manners, manor houses, and hedge mazes: including a magic-infused murder mystery and a delightful queer romance.

For fans of Georgette Heyer or Julia Quinn's Bridgerton, who'd like to welcome magic into their lives . . .
Young baronet Robin Blyth thought he was taking up a minor governmental post. However, he's actually been appointed parliamentary liaison to a secret magical society. If it weren’t for this administrative error, he’d never have discovered the incredible magic underlying his world.
Cursed by mysterious attackers and plagued by visions, Robin becomes determined to drag answers from his missing predecessor – but he’ll need the help of Edwin Courcey, his hostile magical-society counterpart. Unwillingly thrown together, Robin and Edwin will discover a plot that threatens every magician in the British Isles.

It was an interesting read. Good plot, quite intricate, I wasn’t paying very close attention at times and had to go back to understand. I liked the reader.

Antar att den här är bra men jag kom liksom inte in i den. Tror att det var för mycket fantasy för mig. Eller om det bara var för att jag inte kunde koncentrera mig tillräckligt för att förstå allt. Det kändes som att det aldrig blev något flyt. Så jag läste inte klart den. Kom dock ganska långt, typ 3-4 timmar kvar.

Den var bra men hade lite svårt för uppläsaren, tycker han har svårt att skapa karaktärer
