Crime and Consequences marks Catherine Bilson’s move into Regency mystery romance. The three books, all released in 2025, pair traditional courtship plots with criminal schemes and dangerous secrets. The alliterative titles hint at the dual nature of each story, with words like “malice,” “rivalry,” and “intrigue” sitting alongside “misfortune,” “ruination,” and “inheritance.”
For readers who enjoy Regency settings but want more tension than a standard romance provides, this series delivers. Bilson keeps the period detail and social dynamics of her other work while adding investigation and suspense to the mix. The compact three-book format keeps the pace brisk.
