Title: Good Read
Review: I consider Layton one of the best Regency writers around and I'll buy anything with her name on it. She is very accomplished; reading anything she writes is always a pleasure, and this book is no exception.However, I do have a few quibbles with this book. Even though I've read the predecessor books in this series, it would have been more effective if she had shown Annabelle in all her glory and up to her devious tricks, instead of just telling the reader about them. Yes, this was very effectively done in the previous novels, but I believe each book needs to stand on its own and not assume the reader is familiar with prior work.Also, while I thought that the psychological and relationship development of the protagonists was excellent, I would still have preferred to see a little more of the plot and action at which Layton excels.These are minor complaints; this book is still well worth your time and money.
