Jane Austen meets Sherlock Holmes in this new Regency mystery seriesNewly returned from finishing school, Lady Juliette Thorndike is ready to debut in London society. Due to her years away, she hasn’t spent much time with her parents, and sees them only as the flighty, dilettante couple the other nobles love.But when they disappear, she discovers she never really knew them at all. They’ve been living double lives as government spies–and they’re only the latest in a long history of espionage that is the family’s legacy. Now Lady Juliette is determined to continue their work. Mentored by her uncle, she plunges into the dangerous world of spies. From the glittering ballrooms of London to the fox hunts, regattas, and soirees of country high society, she must chase down hidden clues, solve the mysterious code her parents left behind, and stay out of danger. All the while, she has to keep her endeavors a secret from her best friend and her suitors–not to mention the nosy, irritatingly handsome Bow Street runner, who suspects her of a daring theft. Can Lady Juliette outwit her enemies and complete her parents’ last mission? Best-selling author Erica Vetsch is back with a rollicking, exciting new series destined to be a hit with Regency readers who enjoy a touch of mystery in their love stories. Fans of Julie Klassen, Sarah Ladd, and Anne Perry will love the wit, action, and romance. Digging in Deeper — In the Author’s Words Juliette’s parents have hidden so many things from her—from her heritage to their activities and hidden rooms in their house. She has created an image in her mind of what life will be like once they are reunited, but now she wonders if any of it is even possible, much less probable. She’s always felt secure in her parents’ love, but if they can lie about something so big, what else have they lied about? …We often form our views of a Heavenly Father from our experience with our earthly parents, for good or for ill. Juliette has not been ill-treated by her parents, or at least she didn’t think she had, but if they could abandon her on the eve of her coming out in society (in what should be the most important year of her life), can she trust anything about them? Their priorities clearly don’t line up with hers. They put their work ahead of their daughter. Is that fair? Is that right? They’ve taught her that God is with her, that He will never abandon her, but can she trust what they have taught her when they can lie so easily? What Readers are Saying “Everything about this story had me hooked, from the opening scene to the colourful cast of characters to the mystery, suspense and mayhem of Juliette’s return home from attending school abroad. No one, and nothing, is what it seems. The mark of a great mystery.”~ Lee-Ann at Brodeur Writes “What’s better than a Regency book filled with the parties and balls put on by the ton and a debutante making her debut in London society? How about a book that includes stolen artwork, The Bow Street Runners, espionage and much, much more? The Debutante’s Code by Erika Vetsch encompasses it all, and the adventure is one you do not want to miss.”~ Suzie at Remembrancy “I don’t know if the author intended it or not but I found Juliette’s parents were a great analogy of God. She can’t see them, doesn’t understand a their actions, has to rely on their letters and her past experiences to determine their true character and has to trust that they know best. God’s like that too. We can’t see Him and can’t always feel His presence. We don’t always understand the things He allows to happen in our lives. We rely on the Bible, God’s letter to us, and our past experiences of Him to determine His character. Like Juliette, we have to learn to trust.”~Victoria at The Bluestocking About the Author  Erica Vetsch is a New York Times best-selling and ACFW Carol Award–winning author.
