Was somewhat disappointed in this book after the Amelia Peabody books, and almost gave up on it after about chapter two. Through the first third or so, I found both the hero and heroine to be extremely annoying, and the plot setup felt very contrived. The main characters managed to become slightly less annoying, but the plot still felt contrived, and some elements were really over the top. The fact that the big "plot" involved a trite and overly used element of Scottish history didn't help.

I really enjoy Ms. Peters' books- they're light and entertaining but contain enough cultural or historical information that they don't feel too lightweight. This is a fun one, one of my favorites.
