Lady Emily

review 1: I wasn't as impressed with A Crimson Warning as I have been with the previous Lady Emily mysteries. I was attracted to the series because Emily was so well written as a young woman who challenged the acceptable boundaries of being a woman in Victorian society. Her relationship with her mother, with her 1st husband (who we never met yet there was a well-developed relationship by the end of the book), with Colin, and with Ivy and Jeremy, were believable, interesting, and dynamic until A Crimson Warning. Everything in this book felt static and boring. The action scenes weren't exciting, the scandals mild, and the ending disappointing in many ways. Overall, a lackluster effort. But, it cannot be easy to keep every book in a series as excellent as the next. I look forwar... mored to better from Death in the Floating City.
review 2: This is the sixth book in the Lady Emily series. I liked it better than the fifth book. It was fun to see Emily back in her element in London. I liked that we got to see more of Jeremy and Ivy. This story begins with a murder in which the victim is burned and his house is painted with red paint. Subsequent homes are painted followed by devastating secrets that are publicly revealed. It is up to Lady Emily and her husband Colin to figure out who is behind the murders and the red paint. I love the fact that along with the story, Ms. Alexander weaves in the history of the time. Looking forward to the next book in the series. less
