Weekly Reading Thoughts (SP/IMWAYR?)

The Wicked Duke by Madeline Hunter #3

The third book in the Wicked trilogy is the story of Ive's and Gareth's "wicked" brother Lance. Their oldest brother Percy has died and Lance is suspected of being the killer.   He has left London to return to the Ducal home hoping that things will settle down. He meets a local family the head of which wants to climb the social ladder, and makes a deal with Lance.  Court and marry his niece and he will put in a good word with the corner making a determination on the death.  Lance has previously met Marianne and finds himself very intrigued with her.  Marianne likes Lance but is concerned about his reputation.  She will go along with her Uncle's edict because she wants to protect her cousin.  So what starts out as an arranged relationship with mutual benefits for each, turns into something else as time passes.  The identity of the killer was a surprise. A good conclusion to the trilogy.

Rick Hoffman starts out a bit sleazy and unlikeable, but as the story continues he redeems himself.  More thoughts on Thursday, the last day of Audiobook month.

Another slow reading week for me.  I have three books going, but have been so busy that I'm not reading.  I did finish two audios and got a good start on two more.  Enjoy this last week of June.  This is a big birthday week in our family.  My daughter's is Monday, my husband's is Tuesday.  I also have two great nephews celebrating Tuesday and Wednesday!
