The meriwell legacy mystery series
A mystery isn t that great when I can pick out the killer within a few paragraphs of being introduced to them 9781925559613 This is part of a historical detective series that sprung from one of Laurens historical romances 8 in the Casebook of Barnaby Adair and it is primarily essentially a detective story Any romance is limited to that between the Adairs think Regency high ton Nick and Nora Charles which is distinctly happily marital and some very far on the side secondary character romances These are decidedly lacking in smut too That would be fine if the detective story plot were stronger Alas it s way too obvious from the beginning just who the murderer is and largely why even though our ace detectives the Adairs and Inspector Stokes from Scotland Yard are on the case I had to give it only 3 stars due to the very weak murder investigation conducted It was still fun to read and had a great well orchestrated finale And of course weddings for several side characters 9781925559613 This book is different from Stephanie Laurens usual books because it s not a traditional romance with a murder mystery attached It s the other way around The bulk of the story is the murder mystery with a very little romance to add flavour I really enjoyed reading the story I worked out early on who was the baddie but I was blown away when they discovered the motive for the murders It was great to catch up with Barnaby Penelope and Stokes I hope Curtis gets his story too He seems like a very interesting man 9781925559613 A fast paced thrillerThis is one. The Meriwell legacypca Love all the characters coming together to solve the mystery 9781925559613
