7 out of 10

Pretty good, but I was expecting something different. This was much lighter and fluffier than I thought it would be - I thought there'd be a lot more suspense and drama. This was so powder-puffy that I'm surprised it came out in hardcover first!

Not to say that I don't like fluffy, 'cos generally speaking I love my fluff. I was a little disappointed though, probably just because I was expecting something different. That may be my own fault - the blurbs on the back of the book should have given my a clue if nothing else did! Once I got past my surprise this was a fun read. I've heard several people complain about the jumping back and forth between the present day and the past storylines, but that didn't bother me a bit. I can easily imagine myself in Eloise's position, thinking a sojourn to London sounds like a great idea and obsessively sorting through old papers!

I wonder if this might be one of those series that's the most fun in audio....

And now this is heading off to Three104, and that's no foolin'! (Nudge-nudge, wink-wink!) Happy reading!

And I liked it. It took me forever to read, I've been v. busy, but I read a few pages whenever I could. It was fluffy, but it was fun.

And I'm going to try in in the Romance VBB - a stretch, I know, but romantic suspense.

Thanks for this, Jana! I was excited to see it in the VBB as I first read a library copy - hope you dont mind if I keep this in my PC!
