Excellent book! I love books where there is something 'different' about the hero. In this case, the hero is supposedly mad and has been locked up a number of years in an asylum. In fact, he may have a form of High Functioning Autism, from some of the characteristics mentioned. But I am in no way qualified to diagnose HFA. Anyway, there is some big mystery surrounding Ian and the murder of a lady-of-ill-repute several years back. Our heroine inadvertently crosses paths with Ian, and gets wrapped up in his life and the murder mystery. Beth appears to be one of those rare individuals (even more rare for a historical period) who seems to accept (if not understand) Ian's eccentricities. And it is wonderful to see Ian blossom under Beth's gentle care. I also LOVED the rest of the MacKenzie brothers (and their obvious love for Ian), and cannot wait to read their stories.
