I stayed up all night Monday reading this and A Dead Bore. Really fun reads!
I like how many nice characters there are — specially John’s boss — I love how paternally protective he is.

I wonder about the (spoiler!)

bigamy thing — does that mean the kids are illegitimate?

I hope that Susannah will show up in a future book — she seems like just the kind of girl to run into adventures and I like her a lot.

Now I am off to track down the Weaver books!

I would put it at PG. It has a very little, mild profanity, and no sex (in fact, the idealistic young hero is saving himself for marriage). As for violence, well, it *is* a mystery, so there is a murder, but it takes place off-stage.

It has been released in a large print edition, which tells me that the publisher felt it would appeal to older readers.

I really loved the Weaver trilogy. This one sounds like it might be right up my mom’s alley. One question…is it G rated? Mom loves historical mystery, but only enjoys G rated books.

I love this book. I love the correct historical details (I love Regency!) and I love both John and Julia. And although the story is a mystery, the romance sizzles, probably because absolutely nothing happens between them. My kind of romance.

I would love to see a HEA for them, although I know it is highly unlikely given the time period and their stations in life. But I can hope.

I have to get A DEAD BORE, especially since there is more romance in it.

Jayne, thanks so much for your kind words about In Milady’s Chamber! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

For those of you who prefer more romance, please consider giving A DEAD BORE a try. The romance quotient is ramped up a bit, which made it great fun to write.

Hmmm, it certainly is. Well, if you go to Fictionwise’s home page and type in her name under the search function, it should come up.

Hey Jayne, the Ficitonwise link for the Weaver trilogy is hinky.

Thanks Jayne. I’m not a fan of first person point of view books.

And anyone interested in trying the whole "Weaver" trilogy as ebooks, they're available from Fictionwise.

You convinced me, and I'm no Regency fan. I just ordered it from Alibris.

The thing I enjoy about her books is that the historical aspects are correct without taking over the story. Some Regency books feel the need to cram in every last fact known about the period even if the inclusion is awkwardly done. Not here.

Anyone interested in this series might want to go ahead and look for a copy of book two, “A Dead Bore,” which was just released in December 2008, since her books quickly go out of print.

Sunita, you need to get a copy of “French Leave” to round out the Weaver trilogy.
And a copy of “Paupers and Peers” just because it’s so wonderful. ;)

They are written in third person POV.

Can anyone tell me if these books are written in first or third person point of view?

Oh, this sounds great, Jayne! I have The Weaver Takes a Wife in my TBR, as well as the sequel to it. Now I’ll have to hunt this down as well.

Aww, I was sort of holding my breath that this would be a romance.

I kind of was too but, as of the end of this book, their social stations are just too far apart for a romance. Book two is already written and out with both characters in it. We’ll see….

Aww, I was sort of holding my breath that this would be a romance. But I’m still intrigued enough to go looking for this one.
