Title: bland Victorian Romance.....
Product review: after forcing my way through about 120 pages of this book I finally just gave up. In a word, this book was BLAND. The hero is your typical caricature of a Victorian policeman, and a bit of a boor to the heroine besides. Also-why does every low brow historical police officer have to be named Mick? The only saving grace was that he wasn't portrayed as Irish as well!The heroine is a Spinster psychic (another popular Victorian Romance cliche)-what I couldn't understand is why she was written as strong enough to go to the police after having a vision of a murder, but quickly loses all reason and becomes dreary and ditzy-taking abuse from everyone, family included.The final small, but odd straw is the cover-why is a Victorian street policeman wearing a velvet cape like some Elizabethan popinjay?This book was not my cup of tea but others have given it positive reviews so you may want to try it for yourself.2 stars.
