Margaret H. (ExPeruanista) - , reviewed on 2/9/2014 + 68 more book reviews

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.
