--Here is the conclusion from the review by Long and Short Reviews

Filled with colorful characters with peculiar traits, this novel held me spellbound as I raced through its pages. The author does a wonderful job of portraying Charlotte with her strong American beliefs of equality but also a respect for the authority that she is under. Even though she does not like going to the balls, she accompanies the Archers since they are her guardians. I was also able to identify with her, especially regarding the fact that she spoke before she thought. That is a fault many people can own up to. The mystery is also very well developed and solved in a timely manner with a surprise ending that I was unable to guess.

This was a great read and Ms. Corwin has written an outstanding novel.
