When Rose discovers Dolores’s body the next morning, she becomes the prime suspect. In a heated moment, Rose threatens to kill Dolores if she doesn’t stay away from Harry. While Lady Rose knows that her engagement to Harry is merely to prevent her parents from sending her off to India, she is outraged to see Harry escort Dolores to the opera. Dolores is a seductive French lady who belongs to the demimonde, or an exclusive ranking of upper-class mistresses. Lady Rose Summer is working as Captain Harry Cathcart’s secretary, along with her companion, Daisy, when she meets Harry’s latest client, Dolores Duval. Now back to Agatha and we can finally say good-bye to Lady Rose.Publisher: St. It is truly amazing how you can love one series (Agatha Raisin) from an author but barely be able to pick up other books that she writes in other series. Yada, Yada, Yada, Rose is found to not be the murderer but that part ends too soon, so Marion Chesney or MC Beaton, depending on which version of this book that you are reading, adds in more intrigue and foolishness among the wealthy and low and behold we reach the end and exhale a sigh of relief that this is the final book in the Lady Rose Summer saga. Jealous Rose threatens the vamp and next thing you know Dolores is found dead. Rose’s companion Daisy finally marries Harry’s manservant Beckett, but once in, Daisy is bored to tears and Beckett is turning into a person that no one in their right mind could stand being in a room with.Īll of this takes place in the background as Harry takes on courtesan Dolores Duval as a client. Whereas, Cathcart is trying his best to become what Lady Rose needs but he is easily distracted with business and when they are separated, they both see what the other has to offer.

The farce of Lady Rose Summer and Captain Harry Cathcart’s engagement is continuing, but there just might be a crack in the armor when Lady Rose realizes that another man that she had suddenly taken an interest in is weak and if there is any more danger heading her way, she will need a stronger man – someone like Cathcart.

After swearing that I would never read another book in this series, what do I do but pick up the next and final book of the series and midway through wonder what was I thinking.
