And Only to Deceive by Tasha Alexander
2.0

I really wanted to like this book - the plot seemed promising, historical mystery involving a plucky heroine with a dash of romance thrown in. And about antiquities to boot! It started off well, great sense of humor, witty dialogue (the formal austenian language does not bother me) but it all started going downhill pretty quickly.

Please be warned that the heroine is incredibly stupid and stubborn and spends more than half this book blatantly ignoring very obvious facts and reasoning. If there is anything worse than a stupid heroine, it's a stupid AND stubborn heroine. By the time I was halfway through I was struggling to finish only because I actually wanted to know what happened and at what point she stops being an idiot.

So no, I'm not going to be picking up the second book in this series.
