So once I realized I had missed this one and the end was ruined I still decided to go back and read it. Emily and Collin are on their honeymoon in Constantinople when of course, murder occurs and they are there to help investigate. The mystery in this one was hard to follow, there were lots of people involved and no one could tell a straight answer making it very hard to figure out what really happened.
I'm glad I read it and it definitely sets up the next book well (I had missed a lot of important things that happened in this one).

Dangerous to Know (Lady Emily book 5)
by Tasha Alexander.
These ones are expensive and that's why I put off buying them but finally I had to find out what is going on with Lady Emily since there is ANOTHER one out already and I had missed this one. Then as I started reading this one I realized that I was DEFINITELY missing something so I looked it up and I had never bought or read book 4 of the series! Yikes. So I'm actually a few books behind since her 6th just came out. Suffice it to say the 'mystery' of the 4th was already ruined for me so I continued reading this one and then bought the 4th one (which was much cheaper!)
Lady Emily is recovering in France at her mother-in-laws estate when she happens upon a corpse of a woman who seems to have been killed in a similar manner as Jack-The-Ripper uses (but in France - so they call him the Normandy Ripper). Of course her husband Colin is involved in finding the murderer and so she becomes as well. This one deals a lot with her relationship with her husband and his wanting to protect her. They foreshadowed this in book 4 (which I'm now reading) but this is the first time he's limiting her in some way and it's very hard for her to deal with. I think it's great that she doesn't outright rebel (as another character in another book *ahem Lady Julia Grey* would have), instead she is smart and understands his concern but has a hard time accepting it and it affects their relationship emotionally which makes for some good reading.
All in all a great book and it definitely made me want to jump back to number 4 (which I did) to find out all I had missed. Not sure if I'll jump to book 6 just yet, maybe wait for the price to hopefully come down first.

A Fatal Waltz (Lady Emily book 3)
by Tasha Alexander.
I love love love this series. It's got suspense, action, romance and relationships. All set in the Victorian age in europe. I just finished up this third one and was very pleased with the outcome, never disappointed at all. I can't wait to read the 4th and just wish there were more!

A Poisoned Season (Lady Emily Mysteries book 2)
by Tasha Alexander.
I couldn't resist more of Lady Emily. I don't like her as much as Lady Julia Grey but almost as much :)
The second in the series was just as entertaining as the first. There was some more character development and returning characters are always fun. They mystery involved the murder of a man and the wrongful accusation of a servant for that murder. At the same time there is a burglar whose attention is captured by Lady Emily. Mystery, intrigue, flirtation, it's all there.

And Only to Deceive (Lady Emily Mysteries, Book 1)
by Tasha Alexander.
The first in a new series. I was very happy with this series and look forward to reading more. Lady Emily is a widow, her husband, whom she barely knew, passes away in Africa on a hunting trip. She gets entangled in a mystery involving her husband and a few other gentlemen (all of whom are in love with her it seems).
It rounds out nicely and her independent nature does not get her into any trouble. The characters are easy to like and I look forward to the next in the series - which I already ordered on my kindle!
