Lie By Moonlight - Amanda Quick
Concordia Glade, a teacher with past secrets and unconventional ideas about educating women, meets Ambrose Wells, a "private inquiry agent" with secrets of his own and an unusual tattoo, as she and her four orphaned pupils flee Aldwick Castle, which they have set on fire to hide their escape. Ambrose escorts the lovely fugitives to safety, protecting them from the criminal mastermind and his aristocratic partner who'd kept them as part of a dastardly plan to use them for profit and pleasure. Concordia returns the favor by helping Ambrose investigate the mysterious death of a London woman.I'm always excited when I see a new Amanda Quick novel. Although I see a sort of pattern in her books (plots, characters, etc), that's kind of what I like about her books. I know what to expect and since I liked previous books, I know I won't be disappointed. This one wasn't her best, but it was entertaining and kept me occupied. Her earlier books were better, in my opinion, in that I wouldn't mind reading them over and over again. This is a little more blah and I would skip over it, if I had to choose an Amanda Quick book to reread.
