I liked this book, it was pretty cute. It is, however, very similar to the Lady Grey novels. This ok, because I like them, but there are so many parallels between the two sets of main characters. Sadly the mystery element of this book isn't very mysterious. You quickly focus on one suspect and then as the clues continue to point to this suspect, you wonder why the main characters actively ignore all these clues. I dislike mysteries where you wonder if the main characters are idiots. I'd rather they be smarter than I, but that's a personal preference. I look forward to the next book.
