The Counterfeit Heiress by Tasha Alexander
4.0
Probably the best Tasha Alexander novel yet! The mystery was quite, quite good. The climax was very memorable.
Lady Emily and her husband Colin are attending a masquerade at which a famous lady traveler is supposed to be present. But the woman they are introduced to is an imposter!! What happened to the real one? Her story is told in tantalizing short chapters, which alternate with the investigation chapters until All Is Explained.
The only thing that gets on my nerves a bit about the Lady Emily books is that for a Victorian, she has such extremely modern sensibilities and she's fairly smug about it. There are passages where she's really patting herself on the back, like, "Look at me, I'm 100 years ahead of my time but I still get to have servants and awesome clothes!" And the dialogue seems occasionally anachronistic. But these are minor quibbles. Good book!
