Customer Reviews

A suspenseful read

I have always enjoyed Ms. Smith's Regency stories. They were usually more romance with some mysteries, but this one had more mystery than romance. It was a suspenseful read with many twists-and-turns which kept readers guessing to the end. I enjoyed this book a lot, the only minor complaint I had was this book didn't have as many witty dialogues, spirited hero and heroines as other books; then again, I suppose it would be kind of difficult to be jovial with two murders and deaths looming the household. I recommend this book because it was not a predictable mystery read.

It keeps you guessing

This is one of the best mysteries I have ever read. Not only is it a good romance but you really can't figure it out until the very end. Jessica lives with her Aunt Hetty in a QUIET community. The most exciting happening in her life is when the holidays bring every year Hetty's four nephews: Otto, Horatio, Gregory, and Felix. They are all completely different and all heirs to Hetty's fortune. Therefore, it isn't too surprising when Hetty is found dead. The big surprise is that Hetty leaves all her money to the nephew that marries Jessica. Soon Jessica is beset by suitors and one of them is a murderer! She doesn't find out till the end who the murderer or whom she loves. It is an EXTREMELY good read.
