Tasha Alexander: Death by Misadventure
Lady Emily #18
I’ll freely admit that I love this series. Of course some of them are even yummier than others, and this latest one might be one of the most delicious. The books follow Lady Emily and her dishy husband, Colin, as they investigate crimes all over the globe, and although Colin has a mysterious secret arrangement with her majesty’s government, it’s often Lady Emily’s intuition and intelligence that solves the case. Another standard element in the books is a dual timeline, with events from the past connecting or relating to events in the present in some form or fashion, with part of the mystery consisting of figuring out how.
