This absolutely delightful duology from one of my absolute favorite authors is totally worth the read.
She has other series that I believe are more popular, but this particular book has a great mystery plot and memorable characters set against a Regency fantasy background.
If Jane Austen co-wrote a book with Agatha Christie (and added magic), they may have come up with A Matter of Magic.
One thing I really love about this book is the relationship between the two main characters, Kim and Mairelon. The progression of their relationship is fun, funny, and very real.
