Garden of Lies by Amanda Quick
4.0
Independent, strong-willed Ursula Kern owns the prestigious Kern Secretarial Agency at which a miss Anne Clifton is employed. When Anne dies under suspicious circumstances, Ursula is determined to get to the bottom of it without the help of the police. Mrs Kern's current employer, eccentric adventurer Slater Roxton, is not about to let her go it alone.
This was a great, fun read. A perfect beach book, I think, if, of course, you enjoy a good murder mystery on the beach. I love historical fiction but frequently historical romance is sooo cringy. Garden of Lies isn't at all. There is no instalove, which has been the bane of my romance reading existence lately. A steady building of both plot and romance that will keep the pages turning until the end.
Not the best but far and away not the worst.
