A Poisoned Season by Tasha AlexanderBook 13 of 100 for the 100+ Reading Challenge
rating: 4 of 5 stars
I had a brainwave tonight. I decided I like these books the same way I like the Maisie Dobbs books. Maisie is set post-WW1 and this is late-Victorian. But they are both plucky heroines, not afraid to use their talents and ingenuity regardless of societal influences.
A Poisoned Season picks up a few months after And Only to Deceive finishes. Lady Ashton becomes involved in the disappearance of Marie Antoinette's belongings and a double murder. I thought the mystery component was even better in this one, although the romance was a little flatter. Still, I loved it and I can't wait to get the next one!
