Thomas F. (hardtack) - , reviewed on 12/14/2021 + 2564 more book reviews

I've enjoyed a number of Heyer's other books, but this one might have been a little too pat. And the obvious romance was so obvious, but then that plot line is shared by so many other books.

It was the "half-loaf" which keyed me into knowing the cause of the murders. I mean, after all, this is about the British upper class right? What else could drive them to murder?

Still much of what the protagonist "knew" by hiring several agencies was a little too much.

Note: In this edition, the last 25 pages are from another of her novels, "The Unfinished Clue."
