I would recommend this book to history lovers such as myself, and those that like mysteries and romance…there is something for them all here!
Lady Mary does not allow the rigid conventions and expectations of her time to stifle her colourful personality and sharp intellect, but instead embarks on a double life, using her natural detective skills to great success. The mystery aspects were spread out through the book like little vignettes, building in importance as Mary learned and grew into who she was meant to be. We are repeatedly told how independent and ingenious Mary is, but she comes across as whiny, and woe-is-me. Any images and covers will have a text description for the visually impaired enabled through their device's text-to-speech function and similarly, this complies with digital braille readers and similar devices. The text can also be freely manipulated to allow readers to change every element such as text size, font, colour, line height and margins as suits their accessibility needs.Substitute the first man for woman and the second man for Fergie no-not-the-Black-Eyed-Pea-the-black-sheep-royal and that should clarify whether A Most Intriguing Lady will be gracing your ormolu bedside table. Initially, I was intrigued all at the same time by a HR book co-written by the Duchess of York, by the blurb and the beautiful cover. Overall though, I had a fun time reading this, and would recommend you pick it up when it is released on 30th March 2023. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you.
Upon reflection it has changed my opinion somewhat and gives substance to something I thought lacked it. She makes no visible effort to create a life for herself - we are told that she does some lady detective work, but for most of the book, she's meekly following her mother, generally unhappy and dissatisfied with everything. From Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, a sweeping, romantic compulsively readable historical saga about a Duke’s daughter—the perfect Victorian lady—who secretly moonlights as an amateur sleuth for high society’s inner circle.Non mancheranno avventure piene di ritmo che, più di una volta, sembrano maggiormente adatte a un bel noir old England rispetto a un romance vittoriano.
I thought the last puzzle was leading us down a strange Charlie's Angel type avenue, which if i'm honest I found a bit less believeable. But there are other things going on and Mary realises that Tre is investigating a very important intelligence case which could even affect their country itself. Mills and Boons is not my usual type of book I read but I was intrigued in the author Sarah Ferguson, and I wasn’t disappointed.It reminded me of my own time at Shrub;land hall ;) The stories deal with lots of important themes and for that reason I think these books are very grown up romances. Please Note: By their very nature, all signed books will have been handled several times before they get to you. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Enter Trefusis, who falls for Lady Mary almost immediately after meeting her - with a penchant for solving crimes and acting on a whim, Mary is a most intriguing lady, indeed! I personally think this book is more of a romance than Her heart for a compass as that one was more about Mary's sister Margaret's personal journey and experiences in life after refusing to marry the man she was supposed too.
The plot, which is as fun as it is full of rich historical detail, follows Lady Mary as she dares to go against the grain, choosing not to settle for becoming just a wife, but seeks to find her equal. In telling the story of a young woman who quietly investigates wrong doings happening in the privileged class of late Victorian, Sarah Ferguson uses information known to her. A Most Intriguing Lady is Victorian romance and is the second book in the collaboration between Sarah Ferguson (the Duchess Of York) and Marguerite Kaye. It’s the perfect cover for a sleuth, a role she stumbles into when trying to assist a close friend during a house party hosted by her parents at their stately Scottish home, Drumlanrig Castle.
Lady Mary Montagu Douglas Scott is the fiercely intelligent youngest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch. The novel reflects the improving strength of the writing team which brings to the table Marguerite’s vast writing experience in the historical romance genre, with almost sixty books in her portfolio, and the Duchess’s lifelong experience of the aristocracy. The characters, by and large, are likeable and interesting with the bulk of the focus rightfully on Mary and Tre.
