Harlequin Regency Romance Series 2

review 1: OK. OK. I did know the perpetrator almost from the beginning, which is not such a good thing in a mystery book, now is it? Also, the names (Ottillia? Candia?) were clearly an attempt to recall the historical period of the book, but they were a tad annoying. That said and nonetheless, I will read the next one in the series because I love mysteries and I love the Regency time period. Only for the most dedicated.
review 2: A pleasant addition to my shelf of historical widows-turned-investigators, with the added bonus of the lady in question not being young and naive. Georgian London is nicely drawn and I appreciated that Ottilia was not forced into companionship by an uncaring family. The romance was understated, though I'm happy the two in question found their wa... morey to each other, and the mystery was not all that mysterious, but both were enjoyable enough that I'll find the next in the series. less
