I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This worked better for me than Minerva and Hugh's story, mostly because Diana and Giles are both more competent and have better chemistry (and are less annoying). There are still some frustrating moments of miscommunication between the couple, but the underlying mystery of Giles' parentage (fueled by Diana's dogged determination to uncover the truth) buoys the story and keeps it compelling. Plus, the butler-cum-Watson character, Dalton, is a hilarious supporting character.
I appreciate that Virginia Heath foreshadows the next book in her series, so I look forward to reading about Vee and Galahad.
