I was disappointed by this author's first book in this series, MURDER AT THE SEVEN DIALS. I swore I wouldn't read another of this series. I am willing to eat crow. This one, the eighth of the series, is a keeper. This story is fascinating, and no one has a "gift."
Lady Cassandra has a terrible secret. She has decided never to marry and instead throws her support and money behind a home for unwed girls. Physician and fourth son of a marquess, Lord Grant Thornton likes his rake reputation. However, there is a serious side to him that includes a free clinic in the poorest part of London.
Before long, these two adversaries meet in the one place where they want no one to know about their secret, independent lives. This is an engaging story. However, I knocked off a half-point for the unlikeliness of the plot. Overall score = 4.5 stars.
