I have been in a woeful reading slump, and let this sit for a month before I actually sat down and read it. As always, I love the characters, and the fact that each mystery involves some scientific/technological advance being made during the Regency. This one wasn‘t as fascinating as others in the series, but I still enjoyed it very much and continue to recommend these books.

This Wrexford & Sloane is 7th in series and involves not one but two mysteries. The Earl of Wrexford is urgently summoned to an old family friend in Oxford only to discover he‘s been murdered, and a rare manuscript stolen. Meanwhile, Wrexford‘s wife Charlotte, with the help of her secret identity (A.J. Quill, an artist's pen name) delves into possible arson and how it might be related to the international cutthroat race to build the first ⬇️

Overall, I enjoyed this installment…especially learning more about Wrexford‘s past and his relationship with his late brother, and the history behind the invention of the steamship (although I did feel that this was a bit long-winded/too much at times). However, I didn‘t quite get the feel of engagement with the ⬇️ 8mo
robinb story/characters as I normally have with previous books…not sure why. It just didn‘t feel like one of Penrose‘s stronger efforts in this series. Having said that, it‘s still a good series, definitely worth reading and I recommend it to all historical mystery lovers. 4.25/5⭐️ 8mo

Jeremiah Willis, introduced in the Prologue of the tagged book, hooked me with his words- he resonated with me because this is how I feel about any body of water. Pictured is a beach on Cape Cod, my life long favorite place to visit for respite & regeneration.
This is a wonderful historical fiction/mystery series. I suggest reading the series in order.

Desha So beautiful! We went to Cape Cod in October 2021…it was gorgeous! 1y

Initially I enjoyed this audiobook. But after a time I became impatient with the convoluted plot as the story dragged on for me. I almost bailed but I was close the the end so I soldiered on.

#bookreport Finished TDCJ, read section in TNOW, on ch.21 APPM. Picked up WR? This morning. Very Little reading these past 5 days because I have been sick. Binged watched the Shetland series based on Ann Cleeves books. Foes that count?! My brain could not process the written word until today.

Cinfhen Sorry you‘re not feeling well - hope whatever it is passes quickly 2y
kspenmoll @Cinfhen Thanks for your healing wishes! My allergies morphed into intense asthma that morphed into bronchitis, etc. Today starting to feel like I am mending. 2y
