The Day of the Duchess

4.5 stars. MacLean does it again. I loved this book, and it felt so much more complex than a mere romance novel. It deals with issues and problems that most can relate to, and it feels almost contemporary in its handling of trust and betrayal. I found the ending predictable but delightful nonetheless. One caveat – most of MacLean's novels can be read out of order, but I think this one is best if you've read Sophie and King's story The Rogue Not Taken.
