Search - Lie by Moonlight

Quick (aka Jayne Ann Krentz) gives her fans what they want in her latest historical romance, set in a movieland Victorian England. Concordia Glade, a teacher with past secrets and unconventional ideas about educating women, meets Ambrose Wells, a "private inquiry agent" with secrets of his own and an unusual tattoo, as she and her four orphaned pupils flee Aldwick Castle, which they have set on fire to hide their escape. Ambrose escorts the lovely fugitives to safety, protecting them from the criminal mastermind and his aristocratic partner who'd kept them as part of a dastardly plan to use them for profit and pleasure. Concordia returns the favor by helping Ambrose investigate the mysterious death of a London woman. Courteous, daring, resourceful, Concordia and Ambrose can't wait to ravish each other repeatedly. Who but Quick (The Paid Companion, etc.) finds such joy in chestnuts such as the boy thief mentored by the rich man he tries to rob? Or the dilettante solving cases Scotland Yard can't?

While investigating a suspicious death, private inquiry agent Ambrose Wells finds himself on the grounds of Aldwick Castle. The ramshackle castle is in flames and a beautiful woman and four bright students are on the run from a notorious London Crime lord who will stop at nothing to destroy them. Paperback book in good condition (book has been read a few times) Not from a smoke free enviroment however books are kept in a closet on shelves they do not smell of smoke according to a non-smoker that I have asked.

I liked that the book's main female character was strong and not some shrinking violet. Good mystery I didn't figure out until it was revealed which is unusual for me. This was my first Amanda Quick book and it will prob be my last, it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Another great book with a strong, independent female lead character by Quick (Krentz). Great story. Lots of twists and turns in the mystery.

Good historical romance!

Typical Amanda Quick-suspense, romance, a plucky heroine and
a mysterious hero.

Great cast of characters!

This book was awesome and i love her style of writing.

I like Amanda Quick (aka Jayne Ann Krentz). This story was a little slower than her previous books but still a great read.

One of her best! As good as The Paid Companion.

I liked this book. Different from my usual reading material.

Great book, great author
