Nell Sweeney Historical Mysteries

review 1: Besides the first, I think this is my favourite so far. The romance aspect grows more intense and subsequently more complicated, particularly for Nell. This was the first mystery I knew the answer to before it was properly solved, but it was the revealing of all the elements that went into making it happen that really intrigued and surprised me. I'm learning to truly loath Harry Hewitt (as if I didn't have reason enough before) and to like Will all the better. All the little looks and hints and subtly dropped suggestions between he and Nell create a feeling of subtle and cloaked intensity that I really appreciate in British Literature.
review 2: Not my favorite of the series. The plot was a bit scattered, and didn't completely hold my interest as it did in prev... moreious books. I think what kept me clutching the book till the end was (big surprise) Will and Nell. This book, I feel, focuses more on their growing relationship than it does on the mystery itself - which I was fine with, for the most part, though a tiny part of me wishes the mystery they were solving was as fascinating as their will-they/won't-they interactions. There were also parts where I would get summarily frustrated with Nell's views on divorce and religion - though I think that's a) a personal taste and b) somewhat supposed to be felt, as a modern reader. The end, however, was probably one of the sweetest scenes I have ever read between two characters, and the depth of emotion conveyed through the smallest of gestures was something I particularly loved. Definitely a good read, though not the best, mystery-wise. less
