Spied beside the seaside: stepdaughter seeks scandal! Lady Liesl, fourth daughter of the Earl of Sandwich, always thought her fate was to marry well, and live a perfect life like her older sisters. Now she's had a taste of rebellion, and she likes it... Hunting a missing diamond in a remote seaside town on behalf of a runaway Countess, Liesl finds herself at the mysterious Aphrodite Villa, with a sinister lack of servants, and no household magic in sight... not to mention a parlour full of wild, bohemian artists, including the devilishly seductive Perdita. This is the Teacup Isles, where nothing is quite as it seems. Lady Liesl is about to uncover some surprising secrets about her family and herself. If you enjoy cozy magical mysteries, witty banter and Sapphic flirtation by the sea, you'll love this latest stand-alone novella from the author of Tea & Sympathetic Magic, The Frost Fair Affair and Spellcracker's Honeymoon.… (mehr)

I think this is my favourite of the Teacup Isles stories so far, possibly because the romance element was far less driven by Regency Romance tropes (at least those ones that are pre-marriage). And yes, I get that this is fantasy regency, and I like a lot of what Roberts does with the tropes, but the romances are the less interesting parts of this series for me.

Lots of fascinating details, we get to find out what happened to one of the young women from book 1, and letters are used to convey a significant amount of background that gave depth to the story. (

Liesl travels to father’s villa on the Isle of Bath to deliver a message to her stepmother. She discovers a house full of bohemian artists, a strange lack of servants and an even stranger lack of evidence of the house being cleaned by magic.

This is amusing, and it felt like it was exactly the length it needed to be.

This was not a Bath she recognised from regular childhood visits to the other side of the island: all the spa resorts and theatres and delightful amusements around every corner. No, this was all moors and cliffs and chilly isolation.
What had her father been thinking? [...]
“I’m not here to solve a mystery,” she said aloud, causing Amie to give her a startled look.
She must start as she meant to go on.
And that, Liesl decided as she passed the care of her hired horse over to a helpful passing stable lad, included not wondering at all why exactly it was that this particular villa, purchased by her father upon his second marriage, was so very difficult to reach.
She had read enough mystery novels to know exactly where that sort of question led.

In many respects, I think this might be my favorite of the series. Partly, Liesl is a great character from the first two books, but also I loved seeing how she handled herself in a situation where she only kinda knew one person (besides her maid) and had to try to solve a mystery. She is a very sympathetic character, and this story has a lot of fun developments (both plot and character) in among the sleuthing. Amie, the maid, is also a great character, and it was very fun to read the interchanges between her and Liesl. (
