This book was nothing like I was expecting, but a great surprise read. It was dark and twisted, and I couldn't wait to see what happened next.

Enjoyed the plot twists although some of them defy reality. Not sure I like how everything was wrapped up so neatly

I liked this book. I liked the characters. It was interesting.

4 stars for a solid addition to this excellent historical mystery series. It is set in London, January, 1814. Alexi Sauvage has introduced Hero Devlin to a 8 months pregnant wife of a recently impressed cooper. Her husband was snatched of the street by a Royal Navy press gang. She is desperate need of food and coal. Hero and her friend Alexi assist her in the successful birth of her child. They are returning to Hero's carriage when they stumble upon the body of a woman. Hero recognizes her as Jane Ambrose, piano teacher to Princess Charlotte, the Regent's daughter. She sends word to her husband, Sebastian St Cyr, Viscount Devlin. Sauvage has told Hero that the body was moved after death, due to the lack of blood from the wound. Devlin decides to investigate what was either a murder or manslaughter. However, the Palace does not want this classed as a murder, because it would embarrass the Royal family. The authorities announce that she died as a result of a fall, hitting her head. Devlin angers some powerful people by investigating and is attacked. He does solve the murder. There are many suspects with twists and turns in the plot. I was not sure of who the killer was until near the end. I like that the author incorporates the use of terms in use in 1814 London: Footpad=robber cutpurse=thief Description of Hero's clothes: "Unable to use her carriage in the snow-filled streets and scorning sedan chairs, she pulled on demi-broquins of fine morocco lined with fur, wrapped herself in a fur trimmed pelisse with a matching Swedish hat fastened up on one side, and walked." The author discusses the plight of the poor, compared with the rich and the inequities of limited suffrage, and limitations placed upon talented women in Regency Britain. I recommend that you read this series in order, as there are developments in Devlin's personal life throughout the series.

Normally, I'm a big fan of Picoult. This one was more fantasy fiction - a story character coming to life - and it was hard to connect to. Some others may love it, but the abstract impossibility of it made it undesirable for me.

A short, fun book with the Paw Patrol about the Pups and a trip to the city in a hot air balloon. Phonics book that focuses on short i words (big, city, rip, will, etc)

This book was okay. I felt like it did not tell me anything I didn't already know.

Cute story with a great opening that will hook you. The story does get a little bland mid way through but picks up so the end is worth the happy feeling.

Excellent book really helping me with self confidence!!Gives steps in helping with self esteem Would recommend this for people with depression guide to mindfulness based reducing stress.

Excellent historical fiction, takes place during the Civil War and is written from the perspective of a southern family. What I didn't realize until I finished it, there is an extra chapter at the end which tells you that it is based on a trued story. Some of the characters are using their real names and taking place on Carntion Plantation which is a real place that is still there today. Very good story.
