I couldn’t wait to read this book. And with a title like “A Fatal Waltz”, I was really hoping for some good stuff. And I was not disappointed!
Lady Emily is now engaged *squee!* to Colin Hargreaves. However, their wedding has been delayed (two days before the day) and he is sent on assignment. But not before Emily meets his former…uhm…mistress. The Countess Von Lange, who is just as beautiful as she is devious, has worked with Colin for years, of which Emily had no knowledge.
While at a house party in the country, Ivy Brandon’s husband, Robert, is framed for a murder of the political giant he had been following. Knowing that he is innocent, Emily embarks on a journey to Vienna, the land(apparently) of suicides, along with her dear friend Cecile, and her lifelong friend Jeremy, Duke of Bainbridge, to absolve her friends husband.
She gets herself embroiled in the dealings of anarchists, artists and poets. She is stalked, tricked, scared and yet still determined to discover who is culpable.
There are some very touching moments between characters…Colin and Emily, Jeremy and Emily, and even (although not witnessed first hand) the estimable Davis and Cecile’s maid.
I read on the back of this one that the author is working on the next installment…hopefully to come out soon…I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
