My perfect book. The excellent continuation of Miss Dido Kent's adventures with mystery, libraries, and insight into the issues facing women which are always glossed over by Regency Romance.
Highly recommended for lovers of detection novels, Jane Austen, and intelligent reads.

Do not believe the bit about "all the charm of a novel by Georgette Heyer" - it's no such thing. Sparkling dialogue is missing, and some major chunks of plot are noticeably borrowed from Jane Austen's Emma and even a tidbit from The Three Musketeers, so it's easy to see where things are going long before the characters figure it out. Also, the main female character has a potential gent friend who is a moralizing, condescending prosy bore of the 'women should not...' variety. Unfortunately, he does not turn out to be a murder victim.
