A Highly Courageous Adventure: A Regency Cozy by Lynn MessinaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Lynn Messina’s A Highly Courageous Adventure delivers another delightfully witty and fast-paced escapade in her trademark Regency mystery style. The story charms from the opening pages, propelled by a heroine whose inner monologue is as incisive as it is chaotic.
We are granted full access to her lively stream of thoughts as she navigates a murder investigation with equal parts intelligence and irreverence.The humor sparkles throughout, rooted in her sharp wit and complete disregard for the social expectations of her time.
Messina artfully balances the tension of the mystery with the comedy of a woman constantly two steps ahead of propriety—and occasionally herself. The pacing is wonderfully brisk; the heroine barely has time to breathe before another wry observation or outrageous deduction bursts forth, keeping readers thoroughly entertained.While the story’s whirlwind energy occasionally leaves little room for emotional pauses, it’s precisely that pace that makes it such a fun and animated read.
A Highly Courageous Adventure is a smart, buoyant romp that proves once again why Lynn Messina remains a favorite among fans of sharp historical humor and clever whodunits.
