Lucy and the Major eventually figure it out except Lucy is put in peril and the Major isn't happy about it. Because Lucy and the Major are working on this mystery, Lucy's uncle, the Earl asks the Major about his intentions -- and it doesn't go over very well.
If Regency romance is your cup of tea with a heavy dose of mystery, by all means, this book (and series as I am reading next book in the series and plan to keep reading!) is for you.
