Barbara B. (GrannyGamer) - reviewed on 5/1/2006 + 153 more book reviews

This is the second in Morgan's hilarious "Countess" series, et in 18th century London and featuring some of the most memorable characters to ever grace the pages of a mystery novel.

To be perfectly frank, this one is not as good as the first and the resolution comes (as it does in so many mysteries!) at the end in a long windup sequence.

But in one way, who cares? I really didn't read this to find out "who dunnit" but to follow on the escapades of the Countess Ashby de la Zouche and her intrepid "Watson", Alpiew. The bits about Samuel Pepys in there added to the fun. An altogether enjoyable read.
