A Veil Removed Review:

A Veil Removed is a wonderful comeback to the series as the book is filled with adventure, romance, mystery with one of my favorite fictional couple.

As I continue the series, I fall in love with the characters more than before. Clive and Henrietta share a wonderful chemistry and face various adventures and dilemmas in each story. In this book, Clive’s father suddenly dies, and the couple investigate whether it was an accident or not.  I am loving Elsie more and more. Moreover, Elsie and Gunther share an adorable relationship and I wanted to see how it progressed

Moreover, I thought this book was a wonderful improvement from the previous one. I was a bit disappointed with Book 3 because the story focused a lot on the characters, and not much on the mystery. However, the author came back on full form and provided a nice mystery in this one.

Another aspect I liked is how the author compliments the tone of the story between the characters. While reading, I felt that the theme was serious around Clive and Henrietta. However, Elsie and Gunther’s story-line is light-hearted and endearing. On a side note, I also like the mystery surrounding Gunther’s secret from his past.

Similar to the previous books, the author does an amazing job in making the 1930’s Chicago come to life. I loved the details she adds to the character’s lifestyles, their clothes, and their surroundings. It made me feel like I was living in that era and physically present with the characters. The book also ends with few plots left open – ended, which would be hopefully answered in the next book.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and I thought it was almost as good as the very first book in the series.

A Promise Given Review:

In the third book, Clive and Henrietta set out for their honeymoon and encounter a murder! This was a nice addition to the series and I liked reading it.

What I really love about this series is the main leads, Henrietta and Clive. They have become one of my favorite fictional couples, and I really like the dialogues and conversations regarding their professional and private lives. The author also wrote their relationship in a realistic manner where they argue and bicker, but still resolve their differences.

Moreover, I also liked how the cast of characters seem to expand after each book. Oldrich Exley makes a fine villain, and is one of those character you love to hate. I did not like the estranged mother that much either. However, I did enjoy reading about Elsie’s romance and relationships.

Also, the author writes the story in a beautiful way that reminds me of Jane Austen’s works. There is a murder that takes places surrounding Wallace (Clive’s cousin), which the couple try to solve. At the same time, I love how Clive and Henrietta immerse themselves in any mystery that they encounter, as we see a completely different side of them. Similar to the previous books, the author does a wonderful job in bringing the golden age of Chicago back into the backdrop.

 However, I felt the author missed the mark in terms of equally balancing the character development with the mystery. The first half of the book focuses mainly on Henrietta and Clive’s wedding. But, the mystery with Wallace only appears in the second half, and doesn’t receive much attention. It gets resolved in a nonchalant manner, which was disappointing. But, overall, while this book is not as strong as the first book, it is still very entertaining.
