I liked this book as much as I thought I would, but in a totally different way than I thought I would.
See, I had thought this book would be closer in tone to "The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels", and so I was expecting a lot more whimsy and dry wit. Instead, it was much more grounded (err, literally) and had a wittier (and maybe even a touch of screwball) sense of humor to it. There were also deeper political and social questions woven into this book that I wasn't really in the mood for when I read this book but I'm not mad about it.
Sadly, it was kind of predictable, but I guess I'm not too torn-up about that since "whodunit" isn't the prize at the bottom of the cereal box we're after in a romance novel like this.
But it was what it advertised, and I liked it a lot.
