I did not care for this one. The characters are still interesting but her involvement is becoming ludicrous and the murderer was obvious. Too convoluted for my taste.

4th in the series but first one I read. Enjoyed it though I know very little about Jane Austen. Good for a fast read.

Liked it well enough to finish it. Was not a lot of action and development. I figured out the murderer.

I have enjoyed all 3 of the Penny Nichols books. The novels are not the usual type of mystery I read but they are well written, have good character development and wonderful descriptions of France and England.

Usually I just read mysteries but read this one and the first one (A rather lovely inheritance) and enjoyed them very much. Sweet romance, wonderful descriptions of places and problems solved in just a few chapters.

I have enjoyed both books in this series. The Sayers Swindle is well written and the characters are great. Highly recommend this series.

I enjoyed this series until this one and the next one. This one was unrealistic about the murderer and I found the whole situation unsatisfying. The wedding was nice though! I think I will stop with number 7 though.
