Leslie Meier is a talented storyteller and this book was an excellent addition to this lovely series.
Lucy was great as usual and the mystery was solid, full of twists and turns.
I can't wait to read another installment in this series.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Kensington Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

This was a fun read. I laughed, rooted for the characters and liked the romance.
The plot is well crafted but there're some historical errors and the characters are very modern.
It was an entertaining read, recommended.

A useful book on assertiveness and how to learn to say no.
It's well written, informative and full of useful advice.

The plot of this book could have been perfect for an operetta, the XIX century version of a musical, and Franz Lehar or Gilbert&Sullivan works would be the perfect soundtrack to this fun read.
There're a lot of common elements: the fantasy countries, the prince who's looking for a wife, a woman out the box.
It's an enjoyable, engrossing and entertaining read that made laugh, root for the characters and kept me hooked till the last page.
Eliza is a great characters, she's a strong willed and independent woman who thinks outside of the box. Sebastian is a bit more stiff but he's an interesting character.
I liked the character development as the cast of characters is well thought and fleshed out.
The plot mixes romance, historical fiction and some mystery and it''s both gripping and fun.
I liked the historical background but, as this plot reminds me of an operetta, I wasn't expecting anything that reflects the real life of the Victorian era.
I'm more than happy that I read this book and I will surely read other works by Ms London as I liked her style of writing.
Strongly recommended.

Highly recommended.

An action packed, fast paced, gripping and entertaining novel that kept me on the edge till the end.
I loved the well crafted and engrossing plot, the well thought cast of characters and the solid mystery.
It's the first book I read in this series and won't surely be the last.
It was a fun read, highly recommended.

This is one of the best historical mystery I read this year.
It's an unputdownable book, gripping and entertaining and I kept turning pages as fast as I could because I wanted to know what was going to happen.
It's well written, well researched and the cast of characters are well thought and interesting.
I loved the well crafted plot and the solid mystery that kept me guessing.
It's the first book I read in this series and I had no issues with the characters or the plot. I think it can be read as a standalone.
I can't wait to read the other books in this series.
Highly recommended.

I love this series and I found this installment quite enjoyable even if the mystery part was a bit too slow till the last chapters.
I think this is becoming more women's fiction than mystery as Daisy's family problem are taking a lot of space and the mystery takes the back seat too often.
It's nice to meet again the cast of characters and see what's going on in their life. I think they're quite well developed and likeable.
The mystery was slow but solid and the solution came as a surprise.
Recommended.

I love Rachel Patterson's books and I loved this one.
It's interesting and informative and full of hints and advice.
I love her style of writing and how the book is organised.
A useful and interesting read, highly recommended.

I'm in two minds about this book: on one side I appreciated the atmospheric and nearly gothic plot, on the other side I had a hard time in warming up to the characters.
It was more of a historical novel than a whodunit as it was quite easy to spot the culprit.
I think it's better to read the previous installment as I felt something was missing.
I think it can be appreciated but it was not my cup of tea.
