Title: The first book was a charm, but this was a letdown
Review: I was really looking forward to this book because I loved her first one about Sinclair and Jo Quincy. I was disappointed in this book, though and here's a list of reasons why: (1) Neither of the main characters had the same kind of spark as the ones in her first book; (2) even the cat in this one (Macbeth) lacked the pizzazz of Sir Ambrose; (3) too many characters! I needed a score card to track the plot; (4) I thought the plot was less intersting (smugglers?), and (5)I just didn't find Tony or Sylvia very appealing people. At least with Jo and Sinclair, there was wit and humor. With these two, he seemed directionless until he stumbles upon this village (not exciting to me) and she seemed just like any other female victim of the era--impoverished lady trying to solve her problems in a man's world.
