Mr Charles Berry is being feted in London as the pretender to the French Throne, a direct descendent of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette. At the same time heirlooms of the ill-fated queen are going missing in houses around town, a cat burglar is at large and they have forged a connection with Lady Emi...
This book was...OK...I guess. It's not that I didn't enjoy it. Emily was as great a character as in the first book and the mystery was actually better. However I had trouble with two of the the sub-plots. At first we have the Emily has a stalker-subplot. And it is a stalker, not just a secret admire...
I thoroughly enjoyed this second outing of Lady Emily; I was sucked back into her society from the first page. No more guilt-ridden, moony angst! But it was not without its issues and shortcomings. A Poisoned Season picks up where the last book And Only to Deceive leaves off - Emily has return...
I picked this up without realizing that it was the second book in the Lady Emily series, but it provided enough explanation of what went on in the first book that it didn't matter much.I don't really read mysteries (I can probably count the mysteries I've read on one hand) but I love the Edwardian p...
LOVE the Lady Emily series! Great characters and events that aren't contrived but move the plot along and keep you turning pages. In this book, some pieces of the mystery are well-hidden with twists and turns, so that even I didn't know all behind the whodunnit this time! (And that's saying somethin...
Tasha Alexander does it again! Amazing book that keeps you guessing tell the very end. So glad and excited that the book finally ended the way I hoped.
Like I said in my review of this first book of this series, And Only to Deceive, I absolutely love this series. I have re-read the books several times and always look forward to a new one being published. Tasha Alexander has created wonderful characters, and it is impossible not to fall in love with...
The second Lady Emily mystery. I enjoyed it again, especially the way Alexander addresses the fact that not all of Emily’s friends are going to share in her new-found radical beliefs. I did notice some clunky constructions (I know not, for instance) which I think were meant to make it sound more old...
I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as the first in the series. While the first book was a nice balance of drama, mystery, and comedy, this book seemed much lighter in tone. The heroine is really delightful, but I find her relationship with Colin to be frustrating - I don't think we know much ...
While I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, And Only To Deceive, I absolutely adored, A Poisoned Season. Like the first book this one is well written and engrossing. Where this book surpasses the first is that the 'mystery' part of the story wasn't at all predictable. Talk about a tw...
