5.0 out of 5 stars Rose Trelawney, May 22, 2003

This review is from: Rose Trelawney (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved this novel. The characters are well-drawn, funny, interesting and mysterious. The fact that the main character suffers from amnesia at the beginning of the story could have been overplayed very easily. Instead, you believe her amnesia, you believe the family's reaction to this stranger in their midst. The clues to the real identity of "Rose Trelawney" don't appear, they are uncovered step-by-step by good detective work. Joan Smith has gone on to write modern mysteries, but I have to say that I enjoy her regency mystery/romances like this one very much.

This review is from: Rose Trelawney (Mass Market Paperback)

For as fine a writer, a wonderful story teller, and one of my favorite Regency romance authors--this book didn't quite do it for me. I thought the main characters were fine, believable, and well-liked, but the secondary characters, especially the two aunts, were just too sharp-tongued and demanding for my liking. The mystery had its twists and turns, but somehow lost its intensity as the case unraveled, therefore the reasoning was a bit stretched. All in all, not a bad read, but not quite Ms. Smith's usual high performance either.
