Review
This story is such an odd combination of historical romance, mystery, suspense and comedy. It is a testament to Ms. Denvil's amazing gift for writing that it actually works - and works quite beautifully. The ease and flow of the words as well as the delightful banter and intelligence in the writing make it well worth the read! Ruth Lynn Ritter, InD'tale Magazine

A very engaging book, the punch line at the end was a surprise!!
Do you enjoy a good read that will keep you on the edge of your seat trying to guess the sub plots? Well this is one of those great reads. Each time I thought I knew who was the 'bad egg' in the 'dysfunctional family basket' the author would throw in more red herrings and suspicions to have me totally re- guessing. Set in 15th century England amid political unrest, family jealousy and tragedy the cast is varied and all have secrets and deep personal mistrusts, hatred and opinions. Some are also very nievè, innocent and sheltered from the real world while others are the ones that most families have somewhere and spend so much time trying to avoid!! Marriages are negotiated for status, material gains but not for love.Young Emeline ( Emma) is told she will be marrying Nicholas, second son of a drunken Earl who is still mourning the loss of his eldest son. Watching the relationship between Emma and Nicholas tentatively unfold and then as tragedy and circumstances forces the need to develop trust is beautifully written and captured by the author. Rich in history and everyday life in medieval England gives an added layer and emotional attachment with this story. The thought that repeatedly came to mind for me was how lucky we are to have the freedom to just throw on a t- shirt and shorts ...certainly saves time for other things although great here in tropical Australia but probably not for an English winter or rainy day.This was a stand-alone book with a HEA and an ending that revealed the secrets of 'who done it'...well done to the author although when revealed it did make sense. I voluntarily received and read an ARC of this book via Hidden Gems and it really kept my interest until the very last page. An author I will certainly read more of.
My first impressions of Emma, the main female character, were that she was very whiny and clingy. If she had been the sole focus, I would have quit the book early on. Fortunately, the main male character, Nicholas, intrigued me from the get-go--partially because he was escaping a window while wearing a dress the first time we see him! While I found myself rolling my eyes at much of Emma's crybaby theatrics, Nicholas kept me interested in the story. I thoroughly enjoyed his sarcastic wit and self-deprecating humor.I enjoyed the constant whodunit nature of the book. To be honest, I had no idea who our killer was up until it was revealed in the very last chapter. I had my suspicions--and this character was one of my guesses--but I could not have pinpointed it down. Everyone had a reason they could have been the killer, so it was fun to finally see who it was and why.I found the length of the book to be too much for the story. It could have been edited down by probably 100 pages. Another aspect I felt needed some editing was the excess of dashes in the dialogue. I'd be curious to see a Word count of dashes because it was inexhaustible. Sometimes the dashes were used correctly, but a lot of the time, they weren't. Commas or ellipses would have been more appropriate.At any rate, I felt this to be an enjoyable read, but it would be strengthened by an editor.
I read the first book in this series and really enjoyed it so I had high hopes for the second book. Unfortunately, it didn't take long to see that the quality of this book fell way, way short of my expectations.The characters are a major drawback in this story in that....well, they suck. I know; that's not the most helpful or even most mature way to describe anything you don't like but here, I'm afraid, it is apropos. Every single female character, including the heroine, is insipid to the point of lunacy. They all want to have grand adventures and solve murders but only as long as they can do so in nice clothes, with good food, and basically with as little fuss as possible. The only female character that shows any promise is the heroine's mother and she's no queen. Any other time, I might excuse characters like these as products of the historical era being portrayed in the novel as long as the heroine at least seemed adequate. No; these women are high-strung, high-maintenance, and not too bright. Truthfully, since they're all the product of a 21st century female author, they're downright embarrassing. Couple them with gentlemen who are all lacking in the "gentle" department and you have a whole lot of nothing. The male protagonist, Nicholas, shows promise as he seems like a decent human being and has at least two brain cells to rub together. You almost feel bad that he's loaded down with a dunce of a wife. No chemistry at all causes the romance portion of this book to seem contrived and utterly unbelievable.The plot isn't much better with Nicholas doing secret work for the King while leaving his wife and her crew of dingbats to chase a murderer despite showing a laughable inability to function outside of respectability. Forget the fact that Nicholas has been accused of said murders and said dingbats can't seem to do anything without him. I guess it just all works out in the end eventually. Other reviews say the ending has a nice twist. I'm reserving judgment.Bottom line: I'd recommend a hard pass. I love historical fiction and I'm often willing to accept character flaws as part of the experience. In this case, however, there may be too much to overlook. I'm still trying to decide if I have the patience to finish this travesty.
