None. Every so often I need a book ' gourmet dessert.' This series fits the bill - I love the characters, the time period and setting in London (although Georgie isn't in London for most of the book) are both some of my favorites, and the mystery itself is well-written. I enjoyed the addition of the newest character, but missed the grandfather (he's one of my favorites). The only unfortunate thing now is that I have to actually wait for the next book to be finished and come out in order to read it. ( )A fun read for someone who likes mysteries, but doesn't want them to gory or heavy. There is enough wit and humor to keep you amused and although Georgiana wants you to be afraid with you, it almost makes you laugh at her reactions. Love this series -- it's so much fun! I loved this one best of all the books in this series because it takes place in Transylvania in a creepy castle. And there is a murder or two. There are plenty of interesting characters, but I especially like Georgie's ladies maid, a cheeky Cockney girl who has no idea of how to be a ladies maid. Darcy makes an appearance though not as much as I would like. And there are vampires. Or are there? Lady Georgiana is invited - no, instructed - to attend a wedding in Transylvania. She is accompanied by Queenie, a delightful Cockney serving as maid. Although far-fetched, and overly-concerned with vampires, this is a fun read. I'm looking forward to Queenie appearing in subsequent books. no reviews | add a review

The bride happens to be her old school chum, Marty. But staying in her macabre-looking castle proves to be unnerving - especially when she finds dear Marty with blood running down her chin, and a prominent wedding guest is poisoned.… (more)
