I read this in about two days - like my placeholder review said, it's Edwardian-era lesbians in a country-house murder mystery, which is several different flavors of my catnip all rolled into one. This isn't five stars only because the plots are really separate and I wish they'd been more intertwined; as it is, this is almost like two books in one, first the romance and then the murder mystery, especially since no one turns up dead until over halfway through the book. I just wish there'd been more slow burn on the romance and maybe a little more mystery to the mystery - though I really liked Pat, Fen, and Bill teaming up to solve it, it was all wrapped up pretty quickly. All that aside, though, this was such a fun book to read and I've thoroughly enjoyed my little three-book detour into KJ Charles. I'll definitely be reading more from her in the future!
