The Murderer Inside the Mirror operates along three timelines: one during the reign of Henry VIII, the other two in the present and the near past. This is a series novel, which I hadn't realized when I requested it. It's volume two in the "Theater of Thieves" and features a family who are both respected thespians and very successful thieves. As happens in fiction (I'm not so sure about real life as I'm not aware that I know any families of very successful thieves), they have standards. They don't steal from anyone who can't afford the loss and they focus on underappreciated treasures owned by the wealthy.
I really don't want to say much about the plots. They're a wonderfully complex mix and deserve to be met as they arise. Rayne weaves a complex tapestry, but it's the kind of complex tapestry that results in elegance, not confusion.
If you like mysteries, especially mysteries with period elements, you'll find this book a pleasure, even if, like me, you eschew romance. If you like romance, especially romance with period elements, you'll find this book as pleasure, even if, for some inexplicable reason, you eschew mysteries.
