It was a lot of talk about women's oppression and the culture of the times. Mary wanted independence and freedom and not the life her mother had lived and yet she was niave in thinking that was freedom doing her duty to look after her mother instead of being a "love, honor and obey" wife. Anyway, Mary and the Colonel help each other grow and realize that they can have a HEA. ( ) I've never read any Sarah Ferguson books before but a most intriguing lady has me hooked. I couldn't get enough of this book. I absolutely loved it. Sarah Ferguson really knows her characters and knows how to caption them. It was like I was a fly on the wall during Mary's adventures. This novel is full of adventure, mystery and romance that had me wanting more..... I like how she added all the historical facts about that century and the area. I can't wait for her next novel to come out! Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: From Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, a sweeping, romantic compulsively readable historical saga about a Duke's daughterâ??the perfect Victorian ladyâ??who secretly moonlights as an amateur sleuth for high society's inner circle. Victorian London was notorious for its pickpockets. But in the country houses of the elite, gentleman burglars, art thieves and con men preyed on the rich and titled. Wealthy victimsâ??with their pride and reputation at stakeâ??would never go to the police. 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. That person was Lady Mary Montagu Douglas Scott, the youngest child of Queen Victoria's close friends the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch. Bookish, fiercely intelligent, and a keen observer, Mary has deliberately cultivated a mousey persona that allows her to remain overlooked and significantly underestimated by all. It's the perfect cover for a sleuth, a role she stumbles into when trying to assist a close friend during a house party hosted by her parents at their stately Scottish home, Drumlanrig Castle. It is at this party where Lady Mary also meets Colonel Walter Trefusis, a distinguished and extremely handsome war veteran. Tortured by memories of combat, Walter, like Mary, lives a double life, with a desk job in Whitehall providing a front for his role in the British Intelligence Service. The two form an unlikely alliance to solve a series of audacious crimesâ??and indulge in a highly charged on-off romance. Pacy, romantic, and fun, A Most Intriguing Lady documents one remarkable woman's ability to be both the perfect lady, and a perfectly talented detective...and, of course, to find Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
