Abigail Wilson returns to Regency England with another tale of murder, mystery, and romance.
After her elder brother’s mysterious death, Rebecca Hunter vows to expose the man she believes responsible-Mr. Lewis Browning-known by the locals as the Midnight Devil and by Rebecca as her new guardian. He alone was on the bridge that fateful night and openly admits striking her brother with his horse, but he claims he remembers little else.
Summoned to his reclusive country estate to await her London season, Rebecca plans her own secret investigation. Yet, Lewis Browning is not as she once imagined, and his motivation is horribly unclear. Recurrent nightmares and Rebecca’s restless feelings are further complicated by the shadow of her mother’s prior descent into madness and whether she too will follow the same heartbreaking path.
Even as midnight rides, strange injuries, and further murders lead back to Lewis, Rebecca can’t ignore the subtle turn of her heart. Has she developed feelings for the man she swore to see hanged? And moreover, can she trust him with her uncertain future?

My Take:
This book started out pretty interesting, but I had a bit of a hard time following what was happening. It kept my interest, however, there were a lot of characters and things happening that for a while just didn't make sense or add up.
It kind of follows a similar romantic pattern to her previous book, A Shadow in Croft Towers. In both books, the main characters are attracted to men who seem to have different personalities, and they don't know whether to trust them or not because of all the secrets. In this book, Rebecca is attracted to, but doesn't exactly trust Lewis, who may somehow be responsible for her brother's death. And yet, she also can't seem to resist him and part of her wants to believe he is upstanding. You'll have to read to see whether he is or not.
