And Only to Deceive

PG 13

**1/2

{L} (strong), {UM} (strong)

Not Recommend

I decided to try ONE more of this series.

I was even more disappointed with this one than I was with the first two.  Therefore, I have absolutely decided that I will not read any more.

Strong {L}!

Again, there were many references to marital intimacy {UM}

I love these mystery storylines but there's just too much other undesirable junk.

So disappointed :(

Dangerous To Know

I really like mysteries!

I have been on the hunt for a clean historical mystery series for a while now.

I had read one previous Lady Emily book by Tasha Alexander and had not been completely pleased with some of the things it contained but was curious to try another one, hoping that not all of them had disappointing content.  Dangerous to Know was the second one I read and I had similar issues with it as I did with the first.

That being said, this is probably the cleanest historical mystery series I have tried in recent history.

PG (13?)

This had a great storyline!  It was a bit creepy (especially if read at night) but I like that to a small degree I guess.

The {UM} rating is mostly for all the references to marital intimacy.  They main characters are married and frequent mentions are made about their intimate life.  I could do without all that thank you!

Another thing that has bothered me is that infidelity among the non main characters is viewed as a given and almost expected :(

When murder scenes are described she can get a bit graphic {GS}...a bit disturbing!

{L} There was one swear word in this book.  I hate to refer to any swearing as mild but if I had to rank them, this would be in the 'mild' range.
