Very entertaining
This has everything one most could wish for in a book and revisits earlier characters. Intrigue and suspense with a fuller ending than some of the earlier stories.

May Burnett, an excellent author of traditional Regency novels. I appreciated the very real characters and romance protagonists, plus the plot with a bit of suspence.
To recommend.
