Psst ... here's an embarrassing secret: this is my first FF and my first [a:K.J. Charles 7123498 K.J. Charles https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1418032373p2/7123498.jpg]. hangs head in shame KJC is one of those authors that for a host of reasons I've known I'm going to like or even love, in fact I own quite a number of her books, but keep postponing the reading of them. It's mystifying and it ends now. I loved this story and the audio by [a:Bella Lowe 19656285 Bella Lowe https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] is aces. In a way it was return to basics for me: An Edwardian Country House PartySecrets and otherwise uncomfortable facts are revealed at the worst dinner parties everRomantic entanglements ensueA murder occurs, everyone has a motive, and everyone is suspectThis read to me like a mix of [a:Patricia Veryan 68595 Patricia Veryan https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/f_50x66-6a03a5c12233c941481992b82eea8d23.png], [a:Georgette Heyer 18067 Georgette Heyer https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1336748892p2/18067.jpg], and a dash of [a:Agatha Christie 123715 Agatha Christie https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1321738793p2/123715.jpg] and I was a happy camper. The characters are smart, with properly English Dry humor, and even when they're falling in love they remain themselves. I love how the author portrays them warts and all. The Merton siblings have a permanent place in my heart. Bill and Pat are people you want in your corner when the house is on fire. Jimmy is all heart which sometimes lead him to serious blunders, but I kept rooting for him and Bill, I hope to read about them in further books, however my absolute favorite was Fen. She's an absolute gem and Pat didn't stand a chance in her presence. Surrendering with grace was her only option.
