New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick returns with a thrilling new venture into romance and mystery, featuring the most unusual, highly compatible--undeniably combustible--pairing of Tobias March and his mesmerizing partner, Lavinia Lake.
An invitation to a country house party at Beaumont Castle provides a perfect solution to Tobias and Lavinia’s most exasperating challenge: how to escape the chaos of London for a remote, relaxing--and above all romantic--retreat from prying eyes and wagging tongues. But the lovers’ plans are foiled when their first cozy interlude of the weekend is disrupted by the appearance of a stunning woman from Tobias’s past. Aspasia Gray’s beauty is as haunting as her connection to Tobias. Her long-deceased fianc� was a friend of his--in addition to being an eccentric assassin. The mysterious nature of the bond between Tobias and Aspasia makes Lavinia more than a little uncomfortable. Especially as her first encounter with Aspasia occurs when she finds her in Tobias’s bedchamber...
It seems Aspasia is seeking protection--and solace--after receiving an ominous message that eerily recalls the past. Suddenly the obstacles standing betweenTobias and Lavinia appear greater than just a little London gossip--and far more deadly.When events at the castle suggest someone is imitating the dead killer’s methods, the team of Lake and March fervently pursue the investigation--and each other--as their leads take them from Society’s most elegant haunts--and most discreet hideaways--to London’s shadiest backstreets. As their relationship heats up, so does the intrigue. Soon Lavinia will have to employ all her talents to flummox the scoundrel who so rudely interrupted her rendezvous. And then she and Tobias can get back to more pleasurable affairs.

From Publishers Weekly
Private investigators Lavinia Lake and Tobias March (Slightly Shady; Don't Look Back) return to the chase in Regency England, hot on the trail of a murderer for hire when not disporting themselves discreetly beneath the sheets. This time a macabre murderer appears to be copycatting two killers who left behind memento mori rings at the scenes of their crimes. The original Memento Mori Man murdered for hire decades earlier, taking on assignments only if he thought the target thoroughly deserved death. Three years before the start of this novel, the same "ghastly signature" was employed by Zachary Elland in tribute to his predecessor. Elland, March's fellow spy (during the Napoleonic wars), committed suicide after March unmasked him, so when a memento mori ring turns up on the doorstep of Elland's rich lover, Aspasia Gray, March is not surprised when she seeks him out at Lord Beaumont's country-house party. Lake, however, is dismayed, since Gray wants more than just March's investigative skills. A murder is promptly committed at Beaumont's estate, and Lake and March launch their investigations, centering on a certain unstylish blonde wig and a trio of dangerous, dowagers. Quick, a pseudonym for prolific romance author Jayne Anne Krentz, relies on her quicksilver sense of humor and tart research into period hairdressers and British upper-crust society. Lake and March's lusty if predictable romps should please Quick fans, as should the contrasting "demure" period flirtation between Lake's niece, Emeline , and March's adopted brother, Anthony, which is tested by the arrival of Dominic Hood, Anthony's half-brother, suggesting future fireworks. As this engaging effort demonstrates, Quick has the Regency-murder mystery mix down to a fine science.

Adult/High School-Lavinia and Tobias, private inquiry agents, have looked forward to relaxing in one another's company at a weekend house party in the country. However, they are asked to leave when they suggest that a guest's death was a murder. With minimal clues available, the sleuths and their eager, young assistants, Emmeline and Anthony, realize that there have been other suspicious deaths, with an unusual common denominator. Has a murderer come back from the dead? Quick is an expert at witty dialogue, which keeps the plot moving, and the depiction of early-19th-century England. Fans of the series will particularly enjoy learning more about Tobias's mysterious past and prior relationships, which are an important part of this story. It is not necessary to have read the earlier novels to enjoy this light mystery.

From Booklist
The killer, an insider with easy access to the opulent homes of Regency England's elite, has left his calling card, a memento-mori ring--a jeweled, coffin-topped band with a white skull inside. He's clever, but not nearly clever enough to fool the fearless team of Lavinia Lake and Tobias March, back for their third adventure (Slightly Shady, 2001; Don't Look Back [BKL Mr 15 02]). Lavinia's skill as a mesmerist and Tobias' background as a spy, as well as their intelligence and amazing tenacity, allow them to give the killer-for-hire a run for his ill-begotten money. Secondary characters, including Lavinia's niece, Emeline, and Tobias' stepson, Anthony, a young couple showing great promise as investigators, are well developed and interesting, and lend a hand in solving the mystery. The romance between Lavinia and Tobias continues to develop nicely, and his efforts to find them time alone for their romantic trysts is a running joke that adds to the comedic side of the story, which is filled with Quick's signature elements: a plucky heroine, a hero with a dark side, snappy dialogue, witty repartee, lots of humor, and an ongoing battle of the sexes. Quick, who also writes excellent contemporaries under her real name, Jayne Ann Krentz, continues to be one of the best and brightest voices in the romance genre. Shelley Mosley

Good Read
By LindaDM
Third in the March and Lake series, this time the duo find themselves looking for a professional killer, working as the Memento-Mori Man, and a part of Tobias' past intrudes into his present. Lavinia and Tobias are trying to settle into a weekend party in the country, when in walks Lady Aspasia Gray, frightened former lover of a late colleague of March 's during the late war. The colleague had committed suicide after being exposed as afore-mentioned contract killer, three years before. Another guest is murdered and the dead killer's calling card is found near the body, rattling both Lady Gray and Tobias March. Lavinia is put on guard, and again, the chase is on.
A bit slower than her previous books, this still offers a fast-paced read with plenty of surprises, including contact with a fabled assassin, the Memento-Mori man, professional killer with a code of ethics, who undertook commissions only on those who deserved to die. None who met him had lived to tell the tale. Until Lake and March, in the end. This is one of the fun little twists to the story that saves the plot from being dull and banal. Wish I could share more. But - spoilers.
It almost seems as if the author were tired sometimes, but the book is still worthy of a read. Get a cup of your favorite beverage and settle in a comfy chair to enjoy. I loved the twists at the end.
I've seen complaints that blame the book's 'faults' on the story having too much mystery and not enough romance, but I disagree; it may be that what seems to be a slower paced story is due to development of the mystery, and to the authors' fans' expectations of a regency romance writer. This is the book in the Lake and March series that is mostly mystery, alright, but it's a good one. It took me longer to read this one, but I enjoyed every second. I also feel the romance was thoroughly developed in the first two novels, right up the point of proposal, so I don't think there was anywhere else to go, and Ms. Quick, wisely, didn't try to go there.
Give it a chance, read it without expectation. It's worth it.
