A very good read. As historical mysteries go this author shows great promise. It is refreshing to have a heroine who doesn't seem like a 21st Century woman plunked down in the past and explained as being peculiar to her time. This lady heroine is independent and in charge because she must run her estate and family in the absence of her seagoing husband who is away most of the time. Her take-charge characteristics are believable and her wit and humour are well drawn by the author. The relationship that develops between Crowther and Westerman is based on respect and genuine friendship and as such is refreshing and uncluttered by sexual tension. The mystery is complex and quite well drawn. The characters are believable and engaging. Definitely on my "read more from this author list".
