- Teresa (Tracy) Grant studied British history at Stanford University and received the Firestone Award for Excellence in Research for her honors thesis on shifting conceptions of honor in late 15th-century England. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, with her young daughter and three cats, and is on the board of the Merola Opera Program, a professional training program for opera singers, pianists, and stage directors. Her real life heroine is her daughter Mélanie, who is very cooperative about Mummy’s writing. She and her mother co-wrote seven Regency romances and four novellas under the name Anthea Malcolm and one Regency/Peninsular War-set historical romance, Dark Angel, under the name Anna Grant.

Beneath a Silent Moon di Tracy Grant
Whew. I take back my recommendations for the order of reading this series. Apparently the author just published another of the series and chronologically it fits somewhere amongst all the other three. This one is a bit more convoluted and darker than the others, but I like the series and I sticking with it!
Very interesting series, but the author wrote the books in random order so the three books I have in my hands Vienna Waltz (chronologically first of the three), Daughter of the Game (retitled Secrets of a Lady and the third) and Beneath a Silent Moon (second of the three) are related and I suppose could be read in any order, but my sense of order does not like that idea so much. I would recommend the chronological approach, but the stories and the histories of the characters are pretty convoluted(and fascinating) so it may not matter at all. Just enjoy the ride.… (altro)
1818 and the Rannochs are fleeing to Lake Como.
To me this is not a stand alone book in the series, there are just too many past events and people mentioned to make it so. This book might have been more interesting after having read the previous 12 books so that you have all the background information of these events, and information about the characters to make them more rounded.
For me there was much too much talk and description and not a lot of action or going forward with the mystery.

This book was really a mixed bag for me. The basic elements of the story were good. Charles and Melanie are great characters; I like them and enjoy spending time in their company. But this sequel did not live up to the standards of the first in the series. It was just too much.
The shift in time was too abrupt, switching to events that happened a few years before the first book with no warning. It was not handled well and it took me about 30 pages to adjust my mind to the change, a rarity for me. There were too many characters, too many red herrings and dead ends, too many shocking revelations. There were too many instances of a character not being the biological son/daughter of their supposed parents. Too many times a character would say & do things, but wait, he/she has a secret, end of chapter, subject dropped and not picked up for several chapters, if at all. The whole thing was choppy and disjointed. I realise that it's fiction and escapist fun, but credibility was strained to the breaking point. The first book was a fun, silly adventure. This book crossed the line into bad soap opera.
Bottom line? Because of my affection for the characters, I'll try the next in the series, albeit with reservations. But if the next one is like this one, I'm done with Tracy Grant.… (altro)
