Keira and Gage are visiting an friend's estate for New Year's and while participating in the 12th Night Ball activities - find another body. And leaves open the question if one so really awful's murderer should be pursued. The truth is difficult and shows the differences in class.
It's getting a little slow.

Love the detail that Huber brings to her historical mysteries. Lady Darby and Gage are visiting their friends during the annual Twelfth Night celebration. She sets the scene so well that I could really see the festivities and debauchery that typically ensued during these parties. During a tour of the secret tunnels a dead body is discovered, the big question is whose is it? The mystery part of the story was good overall though it became quite obvious what was happening so that the reader was a few steps ahead of Lady Darby for a good portion of the book. Also, her constant comments regarding the fact that she was pregnant became a bit much.
