It took a few pages (about 100!) to get into this book and like it but as the plot developed, I started liking the characters a bit more and the intrigue started making sense. Easy read and enjoyable. The main two characters I liked a lot.
Helpful Score: 1
I personnally enjoy a little more mystery and complexity. It's an easy read.

Once again Diana Killian does not disappoint. This is a witty and fun read. The beginning of a series. I almost can't wait for wish list books to be available for this one. It is a quick read, but only because once started I didn't want to stop.
Cute story with an English flavor.

This is the second book in the Poetic Death series. American schoolteacher, Grace Hollister, and the mysterious antique dealer Peter Fox find themselves in an adventure in England's Lake District that could lead to great Byronic literary discovery or, more likely, to their deaths!
The first in the series.
