Imogen Waterstone has inherited her uncle's estate which includes a treasure map and other collectables from the ancient island of Zamar. She is a scholar of anything Zamarian and she is enamored by Matthias Marshall, the Earl of Colchester, who is the person who discovered the ancient island. Imogen asks Matthias to help her. She has concocted a plan of revenge. She believes her best friend Lucy, Lady Vanneck, was murdered by her husband, Lord Vanneck. Imogen asks Matthias to pretend to romance her while letting it be known that she has inherited a priceless treasure she is sure Vanneck wants. This plan leads to the discovery of a body and a murder mystery for the hero and heroine to figure out.
I found this story humorous and the characters fun. Not only do we have Amanda Quick's usual naive heroine and brooding hero, but we also have Matthias' younger sister, her latest suitor, and Imogen's aunt Horatia who acts as chaperone. I loved some of the conversations between Imogen and Matthias, especially when she believes he is a man of delicate sensibilities. The one thing I really didn't like about this book was the constant talk about Zamar and everything Zamarian. I thought my eyes would roll back in my head every time they brought it up. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
