He isn’t perfect, despite what some people say in their reviews. Kind of a jerk, the kind of bad boy that we all love to hate and love to love at the same time. I got more than I bargained for in the end. ) I certainly do not live under Victorian Era standards, but I wanted SOMETHING. I kept thinking, meh, I need something juicy. Several times during the story, I wanted to be shocked. Julia’s family are not backwards thinkers, quite the opposite, but some things are shocking no matter what. Only after the death of her husband and encouragement from her sister to be bold does she allow herself to open up and try to enjoy her life. In the beginning she is not vapid, but she is not particularly interesting. It is all in the details when one is trying to weed out a murderer.Īs a character, Julia becomes more likable as the story unfolds. Though, I suppose for a mystery, that makes sense. Tiny little details that you really don’t need to hear about. Maybe that is on par with other Victorian mystery novels, but there was a lot of information that wasn’t necessary. There was quite a bit of what I call “filler” info. I definitely liked it enough to keep reading the series. I’m not really sure how I feel about this yet. I couldn't give it 4, but it is more than 3.5. Here is a review of each book as I read it:ģ.75 stars. I read them straight through and immediately got the next few. Historical Mystery is not always my thing. I never expected to enjoy it as much as I did. I received this bundle for a very low price on my kindle.
