The Masque of the Black Tulip by Lauren Willig

4.0

The second book in the Pink Carnation series, this book is just as much fun as the first. This one focuses on some of the minor characters from the first book....Miles and Henrietta. Amy and Richard play only minor roles in the story. This book also takes place in England rather than France. But the tone of the book and the structure of the story are basically the same, although the romance aspect features a bit more prominently. Make no mistake, this is a romance novel first and a historical fiction novel second, so if you aren't looking for a plot heavy on "love" this book is not for you. But it's a fun summer read that kept me entertained and engaged throughout.
