This sure is a popular book, but I am not sure it is one everyone will enjoy. I really didnt enjoy it all that much. Not because it isnt a good book but because
1. A historical fiction novel based on stuff with Disreali and Glasdstone in England in 1876. I never really cared to much for history back when it was a required class, although I aced those courses. I just didnt care for it then and didnt need a history lesson today. It was full of historical information.

2. Really not much happened in the book. Someone dies and leaves, papers in a case, someone steals them, they steal them back and then again and again. Nothing much really happens. People shoot at each other and tie each other up over and over again.

3. Nothing much really happens that makes you like India, or French. The most likeable character was Vincent. I kept reading to find out what happens to this child who is a street urchin.

4. NO Heat... For a book about a madam of a whore house, there is no heat in any form. No tantalizing bedroom scenes which is ok with me, but if you are expecting that you will be disappointed. Even the Lesbian scene is glossed over. NO heat between India and French either, but the book cover alludes to heat in both areas.
