4 of 5 stars
Minerva Hepplewhite is a
young woman who has survived a brutal marriage and made a quiet life in London
for herself, her friend Beth and Beth's son Jeremy. It's been 5 years since her
husband died under mysterious circumstances, 5 years where she has changed her
name and hidden her self as best she can. When a mysterious bequest from a duke
she's never known is brought to her by the duke's nephew, Chase Radnor, she's
afraid her past will become known once more and she may be suspected in the
duke's death. Chase doesn't believe the duke's death was an accident and he's
set out to find the 3 women who gain the most from his uncle's will. The fact
that Minerva never met the duke is even more mysterious.
This was another well
written book by Madeline Hunter and an engrossing mystery as to how the duke
died. The one complaint I have is that the mystery wasn't resolved, but is
continued into the next 2 books. I am not a fan of this tactic, but understand
that everyone is still a suspect in the duke's death. I adored Chase. He was so
honorable and treats Minerva with such respect. I'm looking forward to reading Kevin's story in the next
book.
I voluntarily read the
advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
