But there are other things going on and Mary realises that Tre is investigating a very important intelligence case which could even affect their country itself.
The writing flowed well and with charm, building the era and clothing and world without overdoing it.I often wondered if some of the authors own personal experiences and battles influenced the emotive aspects of the plot. Traits that make her perfect to uncover society crimes – those whose wealthy victims have their pride and reputation at stake. Mills and Boons is not my usual type of book I read but I was intrigued in the author Sarah Ferguson, and I wasn’t disappointed. Mills and Boon books are not my usual reading material, but I was intrigued by the author, Sarah Ferguson, and so requested this book from NetGalley. While the time period is not necessarily known (to me) for women empowerment or feminist leanings, Lady Mary’s feelings and worries did not feel at all anachronistic, and I could readily identify with her.
It is at this party where Lady Mary also meets Colonel Walter Trefusis, a distinguished and extremely handsome war veteran. In the Victorian period, Mary feels she is the invisible quiet daughter--her parents have tried to find her a husband to no avail, but she wants do be able to do something without just being a traditional wife and mother. I liked Mary and Tre as a couple, and I enjoyed reading about a strong-minded woman living in an era were submission was expected. Proprio durante questo evento conosce il colonnello Trefusis, un uomo singolare che nasconde molti segreti e ha uno spirito indomito, lo stesso che anima Mary cacciandola spesso nei guai. The second had a culprit who didn't exist in the book until after Mary had already visited him, and decided he was the behind the embezzlement.Overlooked and underestimated by all who meet her, the wallflower daughter of Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch has a sharp intelligence and keen powers of observation. With thanks to NetGalley and Mills and Boon for the advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. This was a thoroughly enjoyable story, set in the Victorian era, where women were still very subservient to men but beginning to rebel. The delight is that it has none of the cringe moments and the neat working of some real people, places and events into this tale gives it a solid polish. But in the country houses of the elite, gentleman burglars, art thieves and con-men prey on the rich and titled.
Postage charges vary according to the weight of your items and the destination country, and are calculated at the checkout. Although she has grey eyes, a full mouth and a thick chignon of indeterminate colour, Lady Mary is also a faithful reflection of the author. What they needed was a society insider, one of their own, a person of discretion and finely tuned powers of observation, adept at navigating intrigue. I personally think this book is more of a romance than Her heart for a compass as that one was more about Mary's sister Margaret's personal journey and experiences in life after refusing to marry the man she was supposed too. With Lady Mary’s great observation skills and Tre’s connections they go on a journey solving crimes of stolen money, jewellery and documents.Substitute the first man for woman and the second man for Fergie no-not-the-Black-Eyed-Pea-the-black-sheep-royal and that should clarify whether A Most Intriguing Lady will be gracing your ormolu bedside table. Mary is able to help solve several mysteries--an allegedly stolen brooch, and some embezzled funds--and would like to continue being useful and using her talents.
