I think this series is full of potential but this said I'm in two minds about this instalment.
Let's start with the positive: I appreciated the setting, almost all the characters and the style of writing.
The cons: Erin grated on my nerve, I found her cold and couldn't connect to this character, too many Austen quotes and the uneven pace.
The mystery was a bit meh, it was more a sort of "things discovered by chance" than a puzzle.
I think i will try to read further instalment in this series because, as already said, there's a lot of potential.
This one has all the issues of the first instalment in a series, the other will surely be better.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

I recently discovered Laura Levine and fell in love with her books. To be honest I fell in love with her sense of humour, her tongue in cheek style of writing and Prozac, one of the funniest feline in the cozyverse.
I had high expectations and I can say I wasn't disappointed.
Amazing style of writing and humour, check.
Laughing out loudly at Prozac antics, check.
An engrossing mystery that keeps you guessing, check.
Jaine romantic disasters, check.
The only issue is that I will have to wait for the next instalment.
Highly recommended!

I loved the first book in this series and I inhaled this one as it's very engrossing and entertaining.
The well researched historical background, the character development, the humour and a well crafted mystery are the elements that make this book a really good one.
I love Liz, I think she's a strong willed woman and I appreciated how fleshed out and realistic she is.
I look forward to reading the next instalment in this series.
Highly recommended.

A great cozy mystery and a great book.
It’s heart wrenching and heartwarming at the same time, it moved and made me laugh.
It’s not easy to write this review because it’s hard to explain all the emotions this great reading experience made me feel.
The plot is well crafted mixing the sad and the funny moments, there’s a lot of character development and I found it entertaining and engrossing.
It was great to meet again the cast of characters from the previous installment and some new. All are fleshed out, Stella is realistic and lovely.
The mystery was darker and more complex than the usual cozy mystery and it kept me guessing.
It’s a book with strong themes like abuse, grief and healing. I think it’s more women’s fiction than a cozy mystery.
I look forward to reading the next .
Highly recommended.

It's the first book I read by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston and it was a very good reading experience.
