The Ladies Road Guide to Utter Ruin by Alison Goodman
The Ladies Road Guide to Utter Ruin by Alison Goodman,
book two in The Ill-Mannered Ladies series, is smart, romantic,
daring, and deeply heartfelt adventure for spinster twin sisters, Lady Augusta
(Gus) and Lady Julia, in their forties, who have a strong drive to do what is
right, whether society agrees with their actions or not.
Gus is determined to keep those she loves safe and help women in
trouble. She and Julia are secretly housing Hester and her female lover Miss
Grant. Gus is determined to find the evidence to prove Lord Evan's innocence
while trying to stay safe while avoiding the thief intent on killing Lord Evan.
Complicating things is the fact that
Julia has fallen for the Bow Street Runner tasked with bringing Evan to
justice. Their brother Duffy is as insufferable as ever
and an absolute nuisance to the sister; getting in their way.
This fun series realistically portrays the difficulties
faced by two "older" women attempting to live their own lives during
this time period. They quite resent the limitations placed upon them by
society, and the complications involved with solving cases that would be not
exist if they were men.
