review 1: I couldn't finish this story. I made it about 25% and stopped and came back many times before finally giving up after 3 weeks of struggling to get into the story. It sounded like it would be quite the intriguing murder mystery but, sorry, I just really did not like the characters, their interactions, and the dialogue. I couldn't get past them.But because I didn't finish, I gave this 3 stars because it's not fair to rate a book poorly and not have finished it. For all I know, it could have really picked up further on, but I wasn't willing to stick it out.
review 2: I listened to this book as an Audible audiobook. It is a murder mystery/romance set in the present day, but it features the grand historic homes of England and a long-lost artifact from the days o... moref the Tudors. Antonia Townley is an American doctoral student researching the secret Catholic families in England after Henry VIII abolished Catholicism. After the archivist at the stately home where Antonia is doing research is murdered and dies in her arms, she becomes the main suspect. Luckily, Frederick, the handsome lord of the manor, doesn't believe she did it and helps her continue her research to find clues in the past. Soon, the murderer comes after Antonia, and Frederick must protect her as well.Parts of the book do tend to drag as there is a lot of description of the stately homes that the characters visit and explanation of the historical context for the Catholic families and the missing artifact. But if you like historical detail, this is the book for you. less
