Solving Sophronia


Solving Sophronia
By Jennifer Moore
Covenant Communications, 2020; 210 pgs. Romance

Lady Sophronia Bremerton isn't the usual debutante, but she gets lots of attention because she is a society columnist and the gentry love seeing their exploits printed in the gossip pages. She has bigger dreams though, and wants to be an investigative reporter. During a ball she seeks refuge in a library and meets four other women with big dreams. They form the Blue Orchid Society and encourage each other to go after their dreams.

This romance is set during the Victorian Era. I really enjoyed the friendship of the women and to see them getting into fields that were normally closed to them. They trusted each other with their secret dreams and held each other accountable. I also enjoyed the mystery aspect of this story and trying to solve who the murder was right along with Sophronia.
