I mildly enjoyed Mr. Churchill's Secretary, the first book in this series, so picked up this ebook at a special price. Glad I didn't pay more for it. The continuity problems pulled me out of the story, the stupidity of the main character in missing so many clues, and the blatant stealing of subplots from TV shows ruined the reading experience for me. Other folks have pointed out the historical gaffs and Americanisms which I didn't catch. Usually I'll write a long critique of a book I didn't care for, because I know that what I didn't like, might be other folks' cup of tea. However, this book was so sloppy--writing, editing, plotting--that I don't care to waste anymore time on it. Please read previous reviews for lists of continuity errors, historical mistakes, and plot holes.
