Product Description:
At her friend Ivy's behest, Emily reluctantly agrees to attend a party at the sprawling English country estate of Lord Fortescue, a man she finds as odious as he is powerful. But if Emily is expecting Lord Fortescue to be the greatest of her problems, she is wrong. Her host has also invited Kristiana von Lange, an Austrian countess who was once linked romantically with Emily's fiancé, the debonair Colin Hargreaves. What Emily believes will be a tedious evening turns deadly when Fortescue is found murdered, and his protégé, Robert Brandon—Ivy's husband—is arrested for the crime.
Determined to right this terrible wrong and clear Robert's name, Emily begins to dig for answers, a quest that will lead her from London's glittering ballrooms to Vienna's sordid backstreets. Not until she engages a notorious anarchist in a game of wits does the shocking truth begin to emerge: the price of exonerating Robert can be paid only by placing Colin in deadly peril. To save her fiancé, Emily must do the unthinkable: bargain with her nemesis, the Countess von Lange.

As I read each of the delightful books in Tasha Alexander's series featuring Lady Emily Ashton, I can't decide which character I would most like to be: the spirited and intellectual Margaret, the regal and self-assured Cecile, or the gracious and lovely Ivy. However, I always go back to the leading lady, Emily.
In A Fatal Waltz, the third book featuring my favorite 19th-century English sleuth (sorry, Holmes, old chap), we find Emily right where we want her--with intrigue swirling around ... Read More

Emily (Lady Ashton) is invited to a shooting weekend at Lord Fortescue's estate in the country where ... well, quite a few things happen. First, there's her nasty host, Lord Fortescue, a man of considerable political influence and rather chummy with the Queen. Readers of Book II (A Poisoned Season) will remember Fortescue's attitude towards our amateur sleuth. In this book, the man's nastiness has cranked up a notch or three; not only does he try to accuse Emily of stealing politically sensitive documents, ... Read More

I enjoyed the first 2 Lady Emily Ashton books very much and looked forward to this third installment in the series. Unfortunately, I found it to be a weak effort and had the sense that it was rushed to satisfy a publisher's demands.
Lady Emily's usual coterie was on hand plus numerous other ill-defined characters filling out the plot and subplots. Fortunately, there is a list a characters in the front of the book to refer to when wondering "Who ARE these people?"
The time Emily spends in Vienna ... Read More

Alexander, Tasha - 3rd in series
William Morrow, 2008, US Hardcover - ISBN: 9780061174223
First Sentence: I had not noticed it when she first arrived: the way she leaned too far towards him as he kissed her hand, the hint of surprised recognition in his eyes.
What begins as a tedious weekend in the country, for Emily, Lady Aston and her fiancé Colin Hargreaves, changes dramatically. ... Read More

I so enjoyed Tasha Alexander's first book in this series, that I bought the next two and read them on my new Kindle during our recent trip to Central Europe. Vienna was particularly brought to life while we were there by Alexander's descriptions of places we were visiting, like Schoenbrunn Palace, etc.
So enjoyed the "real people" she talks about - Sissi, Klimt, etc., whose stories were related to us by our tour guides.
Can't wait for another.
