This is the first of this series that I have read, and enjoyed enough to want to start at the beginning to see how the characters develop. A NetGalley Book (  ) Vesper1931 | Jul 29, 2021 | ) rretzler | Mar 6, 2018 | Anyway, I knew I wanted to read For Dead Men Only by Paula Paul when I read the publisher’s brief description of it. It didn’t matter to me that it was Book #5 in this series – I decided I’d just have to figure it out because the concept was too intriguing to pass up. How could I resist a mystery that features a female physician turned reluctant sleuth and which involves Freemasons in a small 19th century English village? Pffft, you know me well enough by now to know I was not going to let that one slip past me – no way. I might have benefited from reading Books #1-#4; however, I had absolutely no problem reading For Dead Men Only as a stand-alone read. Of course, now I want to read the first four novels in this series – luckily they’re available at bargain prices – Yay! If you like Victorian English cozy mysteries with lots of suspense, then I’m betting you’ll enjoy this one as much as I did – let’s see…read the rest of my review at http://popcornreads.com/?p=9041 ( ) PopcornReads | Apr 26, 2016 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:Hailed as "an intriguing mixture of mystery, romance, and history" by Lois Duncan, the Alexandra Gladstone series from award-winning author Paula Paul continues as an ominous horseman heralds the emergence of a secret society, hidden riches--and a string of chilling murders. The Temple of the Ninth Daughter sits on a hill at the edge of Newton-upon-Sea, an aura of mystery lingering over its tall, gray silhouette. Villagers whisper about the treasure housed inside, protected by local Freemasons who are bound by clandestine oaths. Dr. Alexandra Gladstone has no time for such nonsense. Between the patients in her surgery and the rounds she makes with her faithful dog, Zack, her days are busy enough. But Alexandra has no logical explanation when the Freemasons start dying, one by one, with no sign of foul play other than smears of blood on their Masonic aprons. And what to make of reports that a Knight Templar rides through the village before each passing? After the constable disappears in the midst of the crisis, Alexandra reaches out to her dashing, diligent friend, Nicholas Forsythe, Lord Dunsford, for assistance. Is someone after the treasure, or might a more sinister game be afoot? In order to solve this puzzle, Alexandra must somehow catch a killer who shows no remorse--and leaves no witnesses. Praise for Paula Paul's Alexandra Gladstone mysteries "I love the way real personalities from the past keep popping up to intermingle with Paul's fictional characters."--Lois Duncan, award-winning and bestselling author of Killing Mr. Griffin and I Know What You Did Last Summer "A lively mixture of ruling-class murder, Victorian morals, and love."--Bestselling author Tony Hillerman "I would recommend this to fans of the Maisie Dobbs series. There's a strong female character in a historical setting. She's determined, logical, intelligent and faces an unusual situation."--The Reader's Hollow.

I read Medium Dead (book 3 in the series) the previous book in the series last year and found the story to be not that exciting to read, but a book that nevertheless was easy to read and entertaining for the moment. At least that what's my review says. And, I'm now very glad that I've started to write reviews so that I can go back and see what I thought. The thing is that I didn't go back and check before I requested this book. I got an email about it and thought alright I have read the previous book so I request this one. It was after that I saw that I had some problem with Medium Dead's story being too predictable.
I liked this story more than I liked the one in Medium Dead, sure it was a bit predictable, but I found reading the book was more enjoyable this time and I liked Alexandra Gladstone much more in this book, then I did it the previous. It's not a thick book, it takes just a couple of hours to read and the suspects are not that many. But, it's a nice cozy mystery book.
I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review. (
