Kate Ross' Cut to the Quick
This first book in the Julian Kestrel series introduces the protagonist, a charming dandy, as he's invited to be the best man in a wedding where the groom is a dude he's only met once. And obviously he's like, this is so weird and also I'm kind of broke right now, so let's head to the country and see what's up. And what's up is a wedding where one family is being blackmailed into things! And then a dead body turns up in Kestrel's bed! Lots of suspects on hand, but with the help of the grumpy local doctor and his pickpocket-turned-valet, Kestrel is sure to figure things out. I really enjoyed this, the ending is fairly melodramatic but overall a satisfying read. A-.
