Critics Review
“The first book in Schwarz’s new Inconvenient Heirs series is an enjoyable mix of cozy mystery and Regency romance. A slightly dark but mostly sweet Regency romance, with a touch of cozy mystery.” – Kirkus Reviews
“Greed, violence, and true love fuel Bianca M. Schwarz’s lively historical novel The Missing Baroness. A charming mystery novel in which a young woman risks it all to claim her identity.” – Foreword Reviews
“An atmospheric and entertaining, slow burn romance with a fabulously spirited heroine!” — Virginia Heath, author of Never Fall For Your Fiancée
“The Missing Baroness is a sweet, suspenseful Regency romance. Readers will love rooting for resourceful Georgina as she risks everything to recover her birthright and bring to justice the villainous uncle she fled as a child.” – Sharon Lynn Fisher, bestselling author of Tea & Alchemy
“The Missing Baroness is the delicious, empowering escape I needed this year! It has lovable heroes, despicable villains, alluringly clever criminals, ruined castles, hidden treasures, carriage rides in the frosty countryside, a sweet and enduring love story, gorgeous gowns and gardens, and a woman taking back what’s rightfully hers. The perfect balance of coziness, intrigue, and romance.” – Molly Ringle, author of The Quicksand Theatre Company
“The Missing Baroness will delight readers looking for historical mystery with cretinous villains, a relatable protagonist and a sweetly romantic thread to tie it all together. A terrific start to what is sure to be a riveting and cozy series!” – Amanda Linsmeier, author of A Dance With Death
“A charming blend of romance, mystery, and intrigue, Georgina Bligh is a heroine worth cheering for: clever, determined, and unwilling to let the truth remain buried. With a villainous uncle worthy of unending scorn. Enter a tantalizing slow-burn romance and twists suitable of the most underhanded drawing rooms in London, this story delivers tension, heart, and conquest in equal measure. Readers who love smart historical heroines will be eager for the next installment.” – Kelly Cain, author of the Texas Hawthorne Legacy series
