And Dangerous to Know by Darcie Wilde aka Sarah Zettel

Rating: WARTY!

Darcie, seriously? For an English mystery inspired by Jane Austen? "When a lady requests her help in recovering a packet of stolen letters, sleuth...." Stop right there. That's me out. "Rosalind Thorne finds herself in a complicated plot involving Lord Byron, scandal - and murder." Of course she does. Why not bring in real historical people and make 'em dance to your tune? Admittedly Byron deserves everything he gets, but usually these things are done so badly. The whole idea of this turns me off, especially the main character's name.
