She finally has a chance to meet more people near enough her age, and begin to build her own connections in the world. It's more than past time. Galen knows his mother wants him to marry, and soon. Laura seems more promising than the other young women who have been invited to stay. But there are things in his family and in the house he doesn't understand.

As a murder mystery, I quite enjoyed this! I liked the setting. The main characters, their relationships and their efforts to investigate were interesting. But as a romance, I found it unsatisfying and rushed -- in part because I spent so long uncertain what direction the love triangle would, or indeed, should, head in. Not what I was expecting.
However, I seem to have reached a point where I’m not just reading this series for the cosy romances, I’m also becoming more curious about the world building of Albion. So even if the romance doesn’t appeal so much, the book feels more worthwhile than it might if I read it out of context. If that makes sense. ( )
