This review is from: There is a Season (Cheney & Shiloh: The Inheritance #3) (Paperback)

For those of you who have read and loved all of the "Cheney Duvall, MD" books and the "Cheney & Shiloh: The Inheritance" books, you will not be disappointed with this continuation in the series. I could hardly put it down until I finished reading it!

The great things about this book are the same in the rest: the author has a gift for description, from the character's attire, post-Civil War mannerisms and etiquette, to the setting the book takes place in. It really makes the reader be able to acurately picture exactly what is going on. Also, each character is very well developed with their thoughts and emotions and you find yourself curious about every single one.

"There is a Season" includes almost all of the main characters from the previous two novels. Cheney and Shiloh, of course, but also Cheney's parents, Dev and Victoria with their 3 adopted children (Dart, Solange, and Lisette), Bain Winslow, plus our favorite hired help like Sketes, Fiona, and Jauncy. The plot was different (murder wasn't really something Cheney had experienced until the last novel) and intriguing.

The only disappointment I had was that there is not very much about the relationship between Cheney and Shiloh. Cheney didn't even personally enter the book until a few chapters had gone by. Maybe the first two books of "Cheney & Shiloh: The Inheritance" had more relationship development simply because it was the beginning of the Irons-Winslows' marriage. Dev was also absent until the end of the book, so there was hardly any information on the Dev-Victoria relationship or what Dev thinks of his new introduction to parenthood with his adopted kids.

Overall, it was a great read and I will read it many times again. I hope there will be more in the series!

Cheney and Shiloh take time off to take Cheney's parents to Florida to recupriate from winter illness. But a body is found in the wine cellar and they have to figure out who killed the owner of the house and how they did it. The pages are packed with the funniest dialog between husbands and wives I have ever read. This mystery keeps you in suspense and laughing until the very end.
