Surprising Lord Jack

Skip it

I'm a fan of Sally MacKenzie's books but found this one disappointing. Jack and Frances mistakenly spend a night in the same bed in an inn while Frances is dressed as a boy. The rest of the book they are working to restore her reputation while also trying to capture a Jack the Ripper type killer. The problem is that Frances isn't very likable. She's prickly, judgemental and at times even mean. She had some good reasons for being that way, but I still didn't like her so it was hard too root for her and hard to like the book. Sally MacKenzie has written some fun books and I'm a fan but this book didn't cut it for me.
