This is the final part of a trilogy that is one part funny, one part mystery and one part paranormal. OK, I was happy with everything except the paranormal.

Daniel is a womanizing, drinking, gambling bachelor who is forced to mend his ways when his mother and sister decide to come to London for the Season. They bring along the mother's goddaughter, who is also looking for a husband.

Daniel and the goddaughter, Corisande Abbott, have an unfortunate past history. Daniel helped Mr. Abbott snatch Corie from the arms of her lover and return her to her father's home, without ever asking a question of Corie. She now hates Daniel.

There was lots of humor but I thought some of the humor went flat when Daniel had so many 'itches in his britches' when he lied. Suddenly, Daniel became a counterfeit detector midway through the book. This story did not read like a complete novel but episodic snatches put together.

To be fair, I have not read the previous novels and that may have something to do with my dissatisfaction. 3.5 stars
