A review by ysaroa
A Nefarious Engagement by Lynn Messina
3.5
The start was a bit slow for me - But the second half deserves a higher rating...
Half way through the mystery and excitement really starts to unfold. However, because I did find the start a bit slow and repetitive in explaining the happenings of previous volumes, I must lower my rating.
This book is about Bea and while I read some missing the presence of the duke - it IS called A Beatrice Hyde-Clare Mystery, and not A Beatrice and the Duke of Kesgrave Mystery.
And Beatrice does so well in filling the pages and her feelings of grief, loneliness and sadness, as well as love, admiration and a bit of fury just transfers so well!
However, whenever the duke of Kesgrave does appear on the pages - it is an absolutely delight! I ADORE him! He simply is so sweet, kind and patient with Bea, and he has fallen HARD and is so very serious. He, with his views and love for Bea, just makes me all fuzzy.
This is such an entertaining cosy-mystery series and such a delight to read!
