Poisoned Season
Poisoned Season | Tasha Alexander
17 posts | 29 read | 8 to read
Stolen jewels, secret identities, and death abound in this sparkling tale of suspense set in Victorian England, from New York Times bestselling author Tasha Alexander.London's social season is in full swing, and Victorian aristocracy can't stop whispering about a certain gentleman who claims to be the direct descendant of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. But he's not the only topic of wagging tongues. Drawing rooms, boudoirs, and ballrooms are abuzz with the latest news of an audacious cat burglar who has been systematically stealing valuable items that once belonged to the ill-fated queen. Light gossip turns serious when the owner of one of the pilfered treasures is found murdered, and the mysterious thief develops a twisted obsession with Lady Emily Ashton. It will take all of Lady Emily's wit and perseverance to unmask her stalker and ferret out the murderer, while faced with a brewing scandal that threatens both her reputation and her romance with her late husband's best friend, the dashing Colin Hargreaves.

We actually stayed up a bit last night so I could finish this -- nice to get that feeling once in a while! A bit of intrepid Victorian lady plus some romance hit the spot, apparently.

Today I wanted to read this and there was WORK instead. How rude, right?

I'm thinking I'll get at least the next book, since I'm finding this fun (if frustrating when Emily is super naive about men/society). I'll have to order the next one soon, I guess!

Clare-Dragonfly Ugh, work is always getting in the way of reading! 4y

I'm enjoying these books, but if Emily doesn't wise up about men wanting to marry her/have sex with her before the end of this one, I'm gonna flip my lid. Yeesh.

⭐️⭐️⭐️+ I wanted to try something old but new for me. I liked Emily, her friends and her three admirers. Of course she is extremely bright and flouts convention but that is why these stories and characters work. The plot was a little too tangled but it might be because I am not familiar with this time period and the theories about the French royal family after its fall. Will read another title in the series soon.

Already finished Book 2 of this series! Lady Emily is finally out of mourning but still not embracing, or being embraced by, society. Instead she‘s busy investigating crimes and juggling her many suitors. So far I‘d give a slight edge to the first book in the series but this one has all the important elements; Murder, mystery, royalty and romance. 3.5 out of 5 ⭐️s

Liked this. Not quite as much as the first one, but certainly enough to keep going with the series. I'm interested to see where Lady Emily is headed.

Another excellent historical mystery featuring Lady Emily Ashton! I really enjoy reading about Emily's intellectual pursuits and her refusal to give them up as Society dictates. Quite a lot of suspense in this story which, for me, came to a satisfactory conclusion.

"Delicious."
Previous sentence: "Mint," I said, as I took a sip from the rough ceramic mug.
I'm perfectly fine with this!
