I love historical novels about spies, especially when one of the spies is a woman. Loved this book and the awesome narration. Little does Roselie realize that she has underestimated Brody's resolve to keep her safe - for he has hopelessly fallen in love with her and is determined to do the impossible by stealing her heart in return. Kissing Brody is hardly the most ruinous thing Roselie has ever done as a secret agent for the Home Office.nor will she let a marriage of convenience stop her from continuing her work. Miss Roselie Stratton is the very definition of impossible - headstrong, outspoken, and carrying a reticule of secrets that could ruin more than her reputation. If only he had not given in to the irresistible temptation to kiss her. Yet his life of right and wrong is turned upside down when he finds himself in a compromising situation with the most unyielding, yet maddeningly beautiful, woman in London. If he says something is impossible, it is. Lord Rimswell is a man of honor and absolutes. In the sixth novel of the enchanting Rhymes with Love series from New York Times best-selling author Elizabeth Boyle, a nobleman falls in love with a beautiful spy he must protect. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s not so much a whodunnit as a how and, more obtusely, whydunnit. Whose Body is poorly plotted in a much more mundane fashion. It was days after finishing Murder Must Advertise before I realised that it was, in fact, silly. The lyrical, astute social commentary (in particular the evisceration of the advertising industry which Sayers knew so well) of Murder Must Advertise doesn’t just compensate for the baldly absurd plot device of Wimsey pretending to be his own doppleganger and a supernaturally acrobatic harlequin, it paints over it entirely. And for me, usually, that doesn’t matter. There are lively debates in the mystery community over which of her stories is the most clumsily over-wrought (with The Five Red Herrings typically coming first or a very close second) but even at her best she wasn’t a patch on Christie at her worst. That which I like about Dorothy L Sayers is abundant in Whose Body and so I find myself wishing it were possible to know what it would have been like were it not the first Lord Peter Wimsey book and/or written ten years later, say about the time that she wrote Murder Must Advertise. ![]() |
