I solved this murder in chapter 3. This is pretty standard for this series. The murderer is always the one who is not on Theodosia's suspect list, and whom she never suspects. It's also the person about whom there is least written. I think the author needs to change this up a bit, as her books are very predictable based on this.

Nevertheless, I continue to read the series because I want to see what happens in the lives of the characters. Although, in this one, I thought Theodosia was rather indiscreet in terms of telling everyone other people's secret affairs. I certainly wouldn't want to confide in her based on that!

If you're looking for a good mystery, this isn't it. But, if you want to read about some interesting characters and treat this more as a soap opera series, then it makes for an OK read.
