The Specter of Seduction by Carolyn Haines

4.0

Raissa and Reginald. Loved how these characters were developed. While I love plot, I'm a sucker for a solid character that can carry a series. Carolyn Haines has created a pair with unending potential for a long-lasting series. The unusual time period of 1920 Mississippi captured me right off the pat. The ability to capture remnants of the Civil War and the birth of modernism made for wonderful dialogue, dress, and personality criss-cross. Brilliant. As for this mystery, I did not see some of the twists coming which kept me turning pages. Not having read the earlier books, I enjoyed seeing Uncle Brent and Madam appear instead of just being talked about. All in all an enjoyable read. Enjoyable enough to go back and read the other books. . . and hope that Ms. Haines produces one or two more.
