The penultimate novel in the Pink Carnation series, this features the stupid/brave heroine Sally Fitzhugh and Lucien, Duke of Belliston and is set in 1806 against rumors of vampirism. Sally has run off from boarding school, anticipating the excitement of the Season, but has quickly grown bored. Lucien has returned after a number of years abroad and now seeks to discover who murdered his parents. Enjoining the fake betrothal trope, they set out to determine who has it in for the Duke, and by extension, Sally. Plenty of melodrama and action, but lacking the humor of other installments in the series. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"In October of 1806, the Little Season is in full swing, and Sally Fitzhugh has had enough of the endless parties and balls. With a rampant vampire craze sparked by the novel The Convent of Orsino, it seems no one can speak of anything else. But when Sally hears a rumor that the reclusive Duke of Belliston is an actual vampire, she cannot resist the challenge of proving such nonsense false. At a ball in Belliston Square, she ventures across the gardens and encounters the mysterious duke. Lucien, Duke of Belliston, is well versed in the trouble gossip can bring. He has returned home to dispel the rumors of scandal surrounding his parents' death, which hint at everything from treason to dark sorcery. While he searches for the truth, he welcomes his fearsome reputation--until a woman is found dead in Belliston Square, her blood drained from her throat. Lucien and Sally join forces to stop the so-called vampire from killing again. Someone managed to get away with killing the last Duke of Belliston. But they won't kill this duke--not if Sally has anything to say about it. "-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

*the connection between the historical and contemporary sections was much weaker than in previous books in the series
*the solution to the mystery was exceedingly obvious (I figured it out at about 1/4 the way through)
*too many instances of repetition (saying basically the same thing within the same chapter, sometimes only a sentence or two after saying it for the first time); felt like very poor quality filler
