When I need a surefire winner I turn to this series - and this installment didn't disappoint. ( ) To answer the 12th question for discussion in book, the killer had to have been commanded by J. I am mildly surprised that he is so "whipped" to do so though unless he had also been thinking of ways to do what Victoria did. I know he is obsessed with getting a "good son" so maybe that's why he is all out. Awful Who Slays the Wicked 4 Stars Sebastian St. Cyr is more than eager to assist Bow Street when his niece's malevolent husband is found brutally murdered in his own bed. Who besides Stephanie could have wanted to depraved cur dead? A solid installment with some much-needed closure for Stephanie whose marriage to the diabolical Lord Ashworth was more than a little cringe-inducing. The details surrounding Stephanie's childhood add to her characterization and make her all the more sympathetic to the reader. The mystery itself is intriguing and Harris once again skillfully incorporates historical figures and events into the plot. This time the focus is on the visit of Catherine Pavlovna, sister to Tsar Alexander I, to England and her antagonistic relationship with the Prince Regent. Despite several promising red-herrings, it is ultimately easy to guess the identity of the killer. Unfortunately, there are still no developments in the ongoing arcs surrounding the question of Sebastian's biological father and the fate of his mother. There is some progress with regard to Hero's manipulative cousin Victoria, but not as much as one would like. These issues really need closure sooner rather than later as this reader, in particular, is getting a little angsty! Sebastian St. Cyr is not especially sad when Lord Ashworth is found brutally murdered. The man was a menace and Sebastian suspects that he was involved with the kidnapping and murder of Street Children. He just couldn't prove anything. And, he couldn't stop his niece Stephanie from marrying him. Stephanie has given birth to two healthy sons, but the marriage was far from a happy one. Ashworth pretty much just abandoned his wife at his father's mansion and continued to live as he did before he married. A lot of parties and women. And, he amounted a lot of enemies...

When the handsome but dissolute young gentleman Lord Ashworth is found brutally murdered, Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, is called in by Bow Street magistrate Sir Henry Lovejoy to help catch the killer. Just seven months before, Sebastian had suspected Ashworth of aiding one of his longtime friends and companions in the kidnapping and murder of a string of vulnerable street children. But Sebastian was never able to prove Ashworth's complicity. Nor was he able to prevent his troubled, headstrong young niece Stephanie from entering into a disastrous marriage with the dangerous nobleman. Stephanie has survived the difficult birth of twin sons. But Sebastian soon discovers that her marriage has quickly degenerated into a sham. Ashworth abandoned his pregnant bride at his father's Park Street mansion and has continued living an essentially bachelor existence. And mounting evidence--ranging from a small bloody handprint to a woman's silk stocking--suggests that Ashworth's killer was a woman. Sebastian is tasked with unraveling the shocking nest of secrets surrounding Ashworth's life to keep Stephanie from being punished for his death. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
