Book two-seventy-seven: Secret Admirer

Secret Admirer (2002)
Michelle Jaffe

This wasn’t as scary as Lady Killer, but I did spend the whole time wondering why they didn’t remove themselves from her house. I mean, come on, the killer has broken in multiple times, proven that he can come and go without them noticing and they still decide to stay there? WHY?

There is this whole weird bit towards the end of the story, where you think its all over, then there’s a whole other drama. That being said, this didn’t seem to twist all over the place like the other one did.

She still has over-foreshadowed the end of most chapters, but the very funny and witty dialogue makes up for it.

I wouldn’t mind reading more about the secondary characters, but I think all the books about them are out of print.

He wanted to be her dream man... Lady Tuesday Arlington seeks refuge from the horrible nightmares that invade her sleep by doing what she does best--she paints them. But when her husband is found dead in a setting identical to one she has painted, she becomes the prime suspect in his murder. Lawrence Pickering, special investigator to Her Majesty the Queen, takes over the inquiry and cannot help but fall for the beautiful and talented Tuesday. But a cruelly sinister presence waits in the shadows to turn their picture perfect love into a masterpiece of murder.
