Cathy from Olympia, Washington, November 27, 2006 (view all comments by Cathy from Olympia, Washington)
Lady Emily Bromley turned down several suitors and proposals of marriage, enduring her mother's constant harping on the duty of a daughter to marry well. After her mother comes after her with a measuring tape to determine whether Emily is gaining weight and therefore reducing future marriage prospects, Emily can take no more and accepts the proposal of Viscount Phillip Ashton. Emily finds herself a widow after six months of marriage, and belatedly begins to learn what she can of her late husband. She discovers in herself a love of antiquities and learning. She also uncovers disturbing signs that her husband may have had an unsavory past, and is determined to uncover the truth.
I found as I read this that I did not want to put the book down, especially once I was in the last half. I also didn't want the book to end! As J.A. Konrath said, the novel is a "compelling melange of murder, intrigue, romance and sleuthing." Altogether a very satisfying novel. I look forward to reading future works by Tasha Alexander.
