It makes it even better that she's not fluttery and faint-hearted. Even in historical books, I can't stand that! I'm glad that the mystery was fairly good, even if you had some of it figured out already. ;) Fab review, girly!

I'm not quite sure if I've read much by Emily herself so I couldn't judge on how this author wrote her. The mystery sounds intriguing! elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098549352641704742noreply@blogger.com
