review 1: Book #4 and I really enjoyed it. We see the characters from the previous books from a different perspective, Napier, the commissioner still trying to find the truth in a murder, and Elizabeth, the woman he thinks possibly did it. Some fascinating psychology to the back stories, and a love story where the heroine almost left the hero to "save" his reputation, so many selfless women in these stories!
review 2: For this special review (my 500th!), I'm glad this book won the price and not another bad bet. I must however confess that some books are so awfully bad that they are remembered very long after their reading up to forever while some good ones with nothing special are rather quickly forgotten, at least by me. Let's stop there for the digression, nobody can r... moreeally be sure whether those are still allowed and that would be the height of absurdity if this 500th review were the one to be deleted;(From the first page, this book had a different tone from the usual romance. The characters, both male and female, were unusual - the hero extremely stiff, stickler to the law, having totally forgotten to live, and the heroine on the other hand oozing a very deep despair and loss of humanity in favor of achieving her vengeance. I was really puzzled by their first interactions which manage to reflect perfectly their own uncertainties and insecurities when confronted with the other. And it took time to get them settled into the beginning of a relationship, while still pursuing their second maybe-murder investigation. The characters of the remainder of the family were rather well depicted as well, very chilling for most of them.There are many surprises to come regarding both investigations, the first one on which Napier found himself again facing Lisette, and the second on which he had procured her help on his family members. And for once, the surprises were rather good ones, with something very distinctive about them. Last but not least, the writing was extremely high, which I remarked and enjoyed until the last sentence, and it seemed even better than Liz Carlyle's usual or that of her books I had previously read. There are not many writers that can claim such a perfect way of playing with words and making them work. less
