a Victorian housekeeper who solves crimes for her Inspector employer. Well, actually the whole household solves the mysteries, and she just co-ordinates them and tactfully hints about their finds to the Inspector. I'm not sure when they get the housework done.

I've got a bundle of Regency fluff coming my way! Courtney Milan, Rose Lerner, and your girl Heyer, all floating toward me through the U.S. Mail. Heyer does not have an off-puttingly thrusting bare chest on the cover, but most of the others do.
