Booker...
I really liked this book!! I could sum it up most simply by saying it is a Jane Austenesque mystery. To sum it up with a little more detail, I would tell you this mystery is written in 3rd person with glimpses into Miss Dido's thoughts by the letters she sends to her sister. I really liked getting a peek into her thoughts through the letters interspersed throughout the narrative. Catherine Kent, sends for her spinster Aunt Dido to help find out why Catherine's fiance vanished from their announcement ball. Shortly after Miss Dido arrives, a body is found on the estate's grounds. Dido has many mysteries to unravel while at Bellfield not the least being the identity of the deceased. This was a delightful book. Anyone who likes mysteries (especially heady mysteries rather than blood and gore) and fans of Jane Austen will love this book!! I can't wait to read the second in the series, A Gentleman of Fortune: Or, the Suspicions of Miss Dido Kent.
