The Modiste Mishap

By Erica Ridley
The Modiste Mishap by Erica Ridley digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A Regency-set comedic caper featuring a book club of meddling spinsters.

 

Miss Sybil Stamper is the least fancy member of the reading circle known as The Heist Club. To her friends, bespectacled Sybil is the Queen of Lists, but she'd rather be belle of the ball. When she finally acquires an evening gown, her life looks like it's falling into place. But when a client's valuable objects go missing, not only is Sybil's happy ending in jeopardy—so are the futures of other young ladies just like her!

 

With the help of the Wild Wynchesters—a uniquely talented family of caper-committing siblings who don't let "laws" stop them from righting wrongs—Sybil and her club of delightfully bookish spinsters take on the heist of the Season.

“3.75 I was shocked that the main character of this wasn't a Wynchester, but Sybil, a member of the Heist Club (bookclub) that hasn't been mentioned much yet, which makes me think she'll be a love interest later on...Jacob or Elizabeth? We'll see...”
“The Heist Club has another mission - find out who stole all the fancy dresses before the ball is ruined! Sybil is desperate to be the belle of the ball for one night and have a full dance card. She has saved her money for 3 years to be able to afford a knock-off dress, and she's ecstatic. When she finds out that the modiste who dresses the elite is robbed, she knows exactly what she needs to do and enlists the members of her reading group, and the Wynchesters, to help her solve this crime. This was another fun novella with a lot of action. Highly entertaining as usual. This ARC was provided by the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.”
