Summary: Unconventional characters, a totally engaging story.
Review: The man stood and turned to Noah, his mouth set in a grim frown. "I assume you called for me to pronounce death?" When Noah didn't readily respond, he added, prefacing it with a deep breath, "The coroner would have been more appropriate. Of course, the authorities would hae to be notified, and a coroner's inquest pursued..." Noah stared at him. Despite his attempts to hide the truth, the man had immediately seen through to the fact that Tony's death had been a suicide. Still, Noah held to his design, struggling to keep a sense of calm in his voice. "I would hope, sir, you are not suggesting that Lord Keighly might have taken his own life." Shocked at the discovery that his best friend, Tony, committed suicide, Lord Noah Edenhall is certain there is a cause to his friend's demise. Why would Tony, ecstatic with joy over a new woman in his life, want to kill himself? Noah suspects the mystery woman, and his suspicions are confirmed when he finds a note rejecting Tony as her suitor. But who is she? With only an initial and a wax seal to go on, Noah throws himself into the duty of solving the mystery of why, and who? With the help of his beloved aunt Amelia, he places the seal as that of the Brierley, the home of the Marquess of Trecastle. Not only does the Brierley door-knocker match the seal, but the Lady Augusta Brierley's name begins with the letter "A." Certain that he is on the right track, he vows to retrieve a priceless necklace from this "mystery woman" and return it to Tony's sister, the rightful owner. Although her many night-time rendevouzes make her a suspicious character, Noah has trouble connecting Augusta in any way to Tony. But the trouble does not stop there--the closer Noah gets to the truth, the deeper he falls in love with the lady whose head is in the stars. The characters of Augusta Brierley and Noah Edenhall are slightly unconventional in their pursuits, but with all the important qualities that makes some heroes and heroines shine above the rest. In White Magic, Jaclyn Reding reaches yet another star on the horizon, following her first success with Book One of the Regency Rogues Quartet, White Heather. Set in Scotland, White Heather focuses on Noah's older brother, Robert Edenhall, who leaves England suddenly when he is accused of a fire that claims the lives of his family members. White Magic picks up the Edenhall Saga with Robert's younger brother, Noah, and White Knight with Noah's friend Christian Wycliffe. Lynne Remick, Reviewer
