Rating: Summary: Superb!!! Review: I have read many,many mysteries in my time, many set in England. I must rate this book as one of the easiest to get attatched to. The writers make their characters very realistic and I found myself actually detesting one of them! The 2 main protagonists are very likable and I can hardly wait to read the next one.

Rating: Summary: Excellent Read Review: If you enjoy Dianne Day and her Fremont Jones series, then this series will be for you. Kate is on her own in the world and leaps at a chance for adventure. She journeys from America of the latish 1800's to England where she enters a different world entirely. I have more of this series sitting on the shelf waiting for me to have time for them. I highly recommend this series. Also go out and get the China Bayles books by Susan Albert Wittig.
Rating: Summary: good fun read Review: it is plain to see the author[s] have done their homework in this series, although this book gives 2 dates that do not mesh. However the work on these books are good clean fun, and well done. In my opinion, better than Perry, not as good as Ellis Peters however.

Rating: Summary: Liberated American girl smacks up against Victorian England Review: This is my first Kate Ardleigh, and also my first book by Robin Paige. The authors certainly did their research, and they insist on giving you all of it. If you're mad about Victoriana, you'll love it. If you just wanted a good old mystery, like me, you'll probably find yourself skipping over huge, dense gobs of detail on such things as the cameras in use at the time. Also, Kate's in-your-face liberatedness seems a bit forced. That said, this is a solidly plotted mystery featuring many colorful characters, both lovable and deliciously hatable, and the sights, sounds and mannerisms of the era are well done. By the end of the book, I found myself appreciating Kate's bravado when she gets the killer. She's a pushy broad, but I guess she grew on me.
