ppcfransen 's review for:
Deception by Gaslight
by Kate Belli
All right mystery, well written, but too many "that doesn't quite make sense" moments to make it an un-put-downable read. For instance: Genevieve suspects Daniel of being Robin Hood because of his mysterious background and because she has heard him speak of Robin Hood in the street. What? Another is
I liked the historical setting, but I didn't like that both Genevieve and Daniel were both quick to anger and show this emotion in their body language. Most people hide their anger much better. Also, I didn't care much about Daniel's point of view in the story, as it mostly seemed to consist of reflection on his attraction and admiration of Genevieve. A point of view better suited for a romance novel.
I read an ARC through NetGalley.
Spoiler
Genevieve is attacked and she (and Daniel) assume it is because someone wants to stop her from uncovering the truth, But Genevieve has not shared with anyone (besides Daniel) what she is investigating. So how would the attacker know about it, much less be threatened by it?I liked the historical setting, but I didn't like that both Genevieve and Daniel were both quick to anger and show this emotion in their body language.
