I couldn't listen to them fast enough! Excellent!

I couldn't listen to them fast enough! Excellent everything! I hope there will be many more to this series.

Finally, and yet...

Totally engrossed since Book 1!!! Don't want it to ever end. Even the repetitions of familiar feelings are delicious. The voice given to Matt makes my heart yearn for passion.

Finally, a solved mystery and a wedding!

Wonderful story, great mix of misfits and proper gentry, but please… the American accents are shameful!

Fun Series

This is one of those series that's easy to listen to, a little bit like a beach read. When I want something fun to read I turn to C. J. Archer.

Not Disappointed But...

I have forgotten the story, which is one of the worst indictment I can give a story. I enjoyed it while I listened to it but now I can not remember the story. This is not the fault of the story but because I have read and heard so many that I do not remember any but the exceptional.

Cheaters in cards, tests, the law

India and Willie attend Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show instead of attending Sheriff Payne’s hanging. Matt bought them tickets for when he’s out of town with Aunt Letitia attending the scheduled wedding of Patience and Lord Cox. After the show, India views some exhibits while searching for Willie who she finds playing poker with Emmett & Danny. E&D invite Willie to join them in more poker that evening at the Tavern where members of BBWWS will also be hanging out. Thus starts their involvement with these characters when Emmett is soon murdered and his lady love disappears.
In between the investigation, India plans her wedding to Matthew which takes place in the last chapter.

Editing really slipped on this book: Chapter 12: the last time her landlady saw Dottie was the night of Danny’s murder? Don’t they mean Emmett?

Magic and Passion

The Guild test. every slick.
Glad that India and Matt finally came together.
Willie and Miss Glass are a hoot, and 2 wiley people.

Enjoyable

I enjoy the characters and storyline. Too many anachronisms and contradictions from earlier books trouble

Well read, well written, endearing characters

I totally marathoned all the existing books of the Glass & Steele series. They drew me in and kept me engaged, interested, and enchanted.

Really fun series!

I really enjoy this series. This book follows the adventures of India, Matt, and their group of friends as they help the police solve the murder of an American sharp shooter with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. I like seeing the predicaments the characters find themselves in. I also like learning more about each character as the series progresses. I would recommend reading or listening to the series in order for maximum enjoyment.
