Hmm... how to review this book...

Well, I have to say that I loved the characters and how they developed, especially the relationship between Julia and her sister Portia. The author really makes the characters fun and interesting to read about. I love how Julia is always bucking against the society's norm for ladies of her station- she's quite feisty. The one character that I have yet to grow to love is Brisbane. Why is it that the man can never just say what he means without all the drama?

The actual mystery in this installment was to me a bit of a let-down. I was so wrapped up in the characters that it wasn't until the end that I realized that I wasn't very thrilled with the whole mystery, or the way in which it played out. That part of the story was actually quite odd.

I also had a few quibbles with the pace of the book. I felt that it ambled along a bit too much, and could probably have been almost a hundred pages shorter and still have been good.

I will definitely continue on into book 4 of this series, though, because I enjoy the characters and want to see where their next adventures take them.
