Reviews

[Beth · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is the third book in the Rachel Markham Mystery series and is probably the best of the three. While in the first 2 books of the series, the author includes redundant adjectives/adverbs, repeats sentences with only slight variations, and does a poor imitation of Jane Austin's style of verbosity, in this book the writing seems to have improved with practice.

Good Book

I enjoyed the plot and characters but thought some descriptions were overdone. If you like descriptions, so much the better for you.

Fast reas

Rachel is an interesting character. Her husband Jeremy is more like a prop that allows her to be a "detective". Good read, short, and fast.
