I'm giving this one 4 stars, because it really impressed me! Lord Charles Sheridan and his wife Kathryn (Kate) find themselves tracking Jack the Ripper 10 years after the fact. They're drawn into the whole thing by Jenny Churchill, the American-born wife of Lord Randall Churchill and the mother of W...
All the books in this series are fun reads... not too deep, but very cozy. Lady Charles (Kathryn) and Lord Sheridan (her husband, Charles) are a fun couple. I was sad to see that the authors chose to go the route of Kathryn having a miscarriage due to measles and being told she can never have childr...

I'm hiding this behind a spoiler cut because I do mention very mild spoilers between the two main characters later in my review. This is the third book in a very enjoyable series, and probably my favorite thus far. This series has a habit of inserting real life historical figures into the stori...
These books really are great fun to read. The mysteries--even if a bit predictable at times--are engaging, and the characters are delightful. I like the rate at which the relationship between Kate and Sir Charles is developing; not too fast, yet not at a snail's pace either. One thing I wasn't...
