I just finished THE SECRET OF THE PINK CARNATION and am on to THE MASQUE OF THE BLACK TULIP. I love the dichotomy in this book of the first person, modern day story and the third person historical. I think Willig has a strong writing voice that moves the story along at a really nice clip. Of course, being anal retentive, I’ve got to read the books in order, but this review helps me know that I should go ahead and invest in the HC of this book.

Thanks!

I would imagine that it will eventually be out in ebook format as the other 3 in the series already are. It did surprise me that an ebook wasn’t released at the same time as the other formats. But what do I know…

I love this whole series and really want to read this book! It just doesn’t seem to be out here anywhere yet! It will get here eventually I guess!

You probably already know but other people might not – USAToday.com’s Life page has a link to this review under their “Other voices from the web” list.

I am still on the fence and with a million other books to read – I’ll keep this one in the back in my mind. Great review as always, Jayne. No ebook also helps my resolve too [g] Also, what’s up with that cover making the rounds of every historical fiction novel?

Now look what you’ve gone and done! I’ve successfully left this series alone– sounded interesting, but not enough to make me really want to read them.

Now I do.

Thanks to you, Dear Jayne.

Oh, yeah. Great review.
