Title: All’s Fair in Love and Treachery
Author: Celeste Connally
Genre: historical fiction mystery
Thank you, NetGalley, for this book.
This book is a sequel to Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord which I also got from NetGalley. I randomly selected Act Like a Lady to read and was so pleasantly surprised by how fun it was. Petra is such an outstanding character.
In an effort to make sure I’m staying on top of all the series I’m reading, I made a point to read this one and loved it equally. This time we see Petra trying to solve the mystery of the death of a headmistress at an orphanage. She’s also balancing her social life and trying to stop the undoing of the entire monarch.
Many plot lines are happening in this book, but they all work toward the ending. Petra hears some gossip about the death of her fiance (not a spoiler, he was dead in book one also), and gathers her closest friends and trusted allies to find the answers to all the mysteries in this book. Highly enjoyable!
Pleasant Nights
