5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent conclusion to the series..., October 23, 2010
Serafina, Dylan, and the rest of the gang are back for another round of mystery solving in 19th century London!
All of London is on alert when high society women start turning up murdered. A serial killer is on the loose, and his gruesome methods have earned him the nickname "The Slasher." Scotland Yard is baffled by the badly written poems and many false clues the killer leaves at each scene, so Lady Serafina Trent is brought in to try to help solve the case and uncover the identity of the "Slasher"....
Meanwhile, when Dylan's childhood sweetheart, Meredith, suddenly appears in London, he does what he can to help her get her footing in the city. Serafina is surprised to find feelings of jealousy rising when Meredith's attitude toward Dylan becomes possessive. Serafina starts to notice that certain things about Meredith don't quite add up, yet it's not her place to point these things out to Dylan. She will have to rely on her budding faith in God to direct her through her personal life, and also to guide her in the investigation of the Slasher.
The story here seemed very original, it's not just your normal murder-mystery. It really drew me in and made me wonder what the killer's motive was. I enjoyed seeing Serafina come to a realization of her feelings for Dylan, and while I wasn't extremely thrilled with Meredith's character, she did add a new layer to the story and I can definitely see that she was a necessary addition. Throughout the series I've appreciated how Dylan's faith affected Seraphina's thinking towards God, and that continues on in this book.
This was a great read, I really enjoyed it. I give it 4.5 stars, so I rounded up to 5. I can't decide if this one or the first is my favorite, but the whole series is a real treat and I definitely recommend all three books! I'll be looking for more books by this author!

Finale, October 18, 2010
The book was delivered in excellent condition within just a few days. Sonnet to a Dead Contessa was a fabulously written conclusion to the Lady Trent Mystery series. Written with suspense and details that kept a person at the edge of their seat wondering what would happen next, it contained a perfect ending. I would highly recommend this book - but only after reading the first two books of the series.

Loved this series, October 14, 2010
Gilbert Morris is my favorite Christian author. This series was captivating from the first page of the first book. This is the last book and I'm suffering withdrawal, will Lady Trent come back in book four? Hurry!
