The Essence of Malice by Ashley Weaver
3.0
Amory and Milo Ames are attempting to breathe new life into their troubled marriage with a romantic trip to France when a mystery falls into their lap. Madame Nanette, Milo's's former nanny, believes something sinister is going on at her current employer's house and begs them to intervene. Before Milo and Amory can investigate, her employer is dead and Madame Nanette must know the truth.
I so wanted to love this book, but I just can't get over how awful Milo is. He treats Amory horribly and she spends a good portion of the book acting much too forgiving and obliging if his cad-like behavior. Honestly, it makes for a very contradictory read when she is portrayed as a strong woman with the knack for solving murders but yet Aimee's and puts up with Milo.
