2021/086: A Marvellous Light -- Freya Marske

"We don't know how many men -- er, or women -- are involved."
"They're men ... if even a single woman was involved, they wouldn't have decided that a man who'd been working there one day was a more likely source of information than a woman who'd been there for years." [loc. 4104]

A tasty confection of magical murder mystery, country house intrigues, enemies to lovers, Edwardian pornography, homicidal vegetation, paperwork errors, and cufflinks! ... I read this in one delicious gulp, and am happy to discover that it's first in a projected series.
