Pat and Fen's story has love, adventure, mystery, family secrets...and K.J. Charles' distinctive excellent characters and wit. Now I'm off to reread Think of England! ( ) I described this to someone as a romance with a sudden side step into a country house murder mystery. It wasn't particularly a surprise about the murder -- it was clearly indicated in the synopsis, and even more clearly indicated in the text that this was going to happen. There was little to no surprise when it did happen, although the sheer number of reasons that people might have had for murdering the deceased possibly put an average Christie to shame. I found the main romance beautifully done, although very much in the joke of lesbians and moving in together on the second date. I was less convinced by some of the secondary pairings, although that has a lot to do with the fact that the author lavishes detail on the main pair, and much less on the others -- and that this has a lot to do with a very narrow POV and a very focused viewpoint character. There was a narrow escape from farce in a couple of scenes; I'm beginning to think that this is characteristic of Charles' work. Pat is going to her friend, Jimmy's, estate to hunt partridge with the men. She does not want to be stuck with a bunch of women so is happy knowing it will be only the men. Unfortunately, the house party has expanded to Jimmy's fiancée, his sister and brother-in-law, and his mother's goddaughter. As they all get to know one another, the women are more comfortable when the men are not around since Jimmy's brother-in-law is nasty to everyone. Pat also discovers Jimmy's fiancée is a lovely young woman who she is attracted to and which he does not seem to notice. Secrets come out during the house party as does murder. Will the truth come out though? I enjoyed this story. I liked Fen, Jimmy's fiancée, and Pat. They are a good match. Pat shows Fen things about herself that Fen downplays while Fen does the same to Pat. Fen starts out as flighty but we see her show her true colors with Pat's encouragement. I appreciated Pat and her brother Bill being honest with each other also. I think it will make life easier for both of them. I figured who the murder victim was early. The murderer took me longer, almost needed the explanation as the end. I had someone else pegged as the murderer. I'll never be a detective. I look forward to more in this series. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A shooting party at the Earl of Witton's remote country house is a high treat for champion shot Patricia Merton-until unexpected guests turn the social atmosphere dangerously sour. That's not Pat's biggest problem. She's visiting her old friend, the Earl's heir Jimmy Yoxall-but she wants to spend a lot more time with Jimmy's fiancée. The irrepressible Miss Fenella Carruth, with her laughing eyes and lush curves, is the most glorious woman Pat's ever met, and it quickly becomes impossible to remember why she needs to stay at arm's length. But while the women's attraction grows, the tensions at Rodington Court get worse. Affairs, secrets, betrayals, and blackmail come to light. And when a body is discovered with a knife between the shoulder blades, it's going to take Pat and Fen's combined talents to prevent the murderer destroying all their lives.
