The Intrigue at Highbury: Or, Emma's Match (Mr. & Mrs. Darcy Mysteries, #5)
Carrie Bebris | 2010

8.0 (1 Ratings)
Book Rating
Bebris really starts to hit her stride with this instalment. The first books were entertaining enough, but rereading, I see that The Intrigue at Highbury and the following book, The Deception at Lyme, really are of a higher standard, better plotted and more involving than the earlier books. I hope that when The Suspicions at Sandition is available in paperback that the standard will have been maintained.

"Poetic and oh-so-funky, Orson Welles’s filmic essay on deception has balls of experimental steel. Cobbled together in his later years of European exile, it’s both a cheeky thesis on the nature of fakery and the best example I can imagine of filmmaking as giddy, childlike play. Now if someone would only do a decent DVD of The Trial, we’d be in business. (Nudge, nudge.)"

Book Rating
Triangle of Deception is one of those sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat books. It’s book four of a series but it makes a wonderful standalone. I don’t want to say too much for fear of giving anything away! Fast paced, energetic, and exciting, this is one that any crime-thriller lover won’t want to miss.



**Thank you to Haggai and Bostic Communications for supplying my review copy!**

Big plot holes

Some very wooden acting from support cast, especially Natalie Eva Marie
An intriguing enough tale of deception let down through poor execution

"This book has the virtue of being the most perfect novel ever written. It manages to blend the miniature world of an uninteresting town with a profound reckoning with the human heart in all its vagaries. Here we find courage, pettiness, self-deception, love, profundity, triviality, sadness, joy, munificence, greed, theatricality, restraint, wit, pomposity, despair, hope. It’s seductively readable, free of pretension, and written with a rare clear-eyed kindness."
