I seem to be writing a lot about Lady Ashton lately but I can't seem to be able to put down Tasha Alexander's books. I finished "A Fatal Waltz" last night and I loved it. It was full of adventure and intrigue like the other books.
There was one critic that said something along the lines of 'if Jane Austen had written the Da Vinci Code, it would of been this." When they were asked what they thought of "Only to Deceive"...the first book. I tend to agree with that critic.
In "A Fatal Waltz" Emily has been asked by her best friend, Ivy, to join a party. Lord Fortescue and Countess Kristiana von Lange are making her life hell. Lord Fortescue is murdered and Ivy's husband is accused of the crime because of Lord Fortescue threatening to end Robert's (Ivy's husband) political career.
Emily is sent to clear Robert's name before he is hanged for a crime that he has not committed.
I thought I had the murder solved after I was about halfway through but there are twists and turns that I really didn't see coming to be honest...or I was so focused on Emily that I wasn't paying attention to the clues. I would make a poor detective!!
I just started reading "Dangerous to Know" and I have placed "A Poisoned Season" on hold at the library. I'm kind of sad that there are only two other books after the one I have started reading of Lady Ashton. I will have to find another series or another author to read. It does seem a bit tedious though doesn't it?
