A thoroughly enjoyable new series from Anne Perry… I’ve long enjoyed Anne Perry’s Charlotte and Thomas Pitt books, so I was thrilled to be offered a chance to read a review copy of the second title in her new Elena Standish series, A Question of Betrayal.

Somewhere along the way, though, most of those books got loaned out or lost, and so I was really happy to be offered

Light and fun… In my last review of a Henrietta Hamilton book, I expressed hope that Agora Books would continue re-issuing her books. And not only have they done so, they’ve even managed to acquire the rights to some of her previously unpublished books, including this one, The Man Who Wasn’t There, which is part
