It is now May 1917 and there is to be a wedding in Kurland St. Mary - Lucy Harrington's friend Sophia is remarrying. As the wedding takes place an accident happens or so it seems. With plenty of enemies to choose from, the tasks of finding the guilty party may be difficult for Lucy and the Major. Love the characters in this series and an enjoyable mystery. The pattern is set in these mysteries and once again Robert and Lucy cope with awkward guests, constraint between them unresolved, and, while Robert hosts the wedding guests for Sophia and Andrew, the utterly dire Chingford sisters with their scandal-mongering mother are housed at The Rectory. The backstories were a little sketchy, but the mysteries surrounding the murders are quite convoluted so the tale was engaging despite the Major's inability to court Lucy successfully. At least so far... Another interesting entry in the fine series. The morals, mores and culture of the Regency Era serve as connective tissue for the conflicts and solutions that drive the storyline in this latest installment from Catherine Lloyd. The irascible male. Major Kurland is a cut above some of the more stolid, even stupid characters, like the police captain and Quincannon given to us by otherwise excellent authors. The female half should get most of the best lines but they do best when they are delivered to a functioning male partner rather than the more frequently depicted blank wall. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The plotting of this one was almost superb, but it sort of fell apart in the last third of the book. Or maybe it didn't; perhaps the author intended to lead the reader to the conclusion, but the effect felt a bit convoluted and the twist at the end suffered for it. Still I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope there are more to come. ( )
