A Conspicuous Woman

A Historical Romance Mystery (Tabitha & Wolf Historical Mystery Series)

By: Sarah F. Noel

Narrated by: Vicki-Jo Eva

London, 1898. The age of the motor-car has dawned, and Wolf is determined to embrace it. When he acquires one of the new mechanical marvels and enters one of England’s first great motor-car runs from London to Brighton, Tabitha is less than enthusiastic—particularly as she has other reasons to proceed with caution.

At Wolf’s insistence, she travels by train with the dowager to await his arrival at the finish line. But what should have been a day of triumph soon turns to dread when tragedy strikes the course, and Wolf finds himself accused of a fellow driver’s death.

Refusing to stand idly by, Tabitha and the dowager embark upon their own investigation, uncovering rivalries, jealousies, and whispered scandals among the competitors. As if that wasn't enough, Tabitha has to endure Lady Arlene Archibald, a woman from Wolf’s past, whose reappearance threatens to complicate matters in every possible way.

As engines cool and tempers flare, Tabitha must summon every ounce of investigative skill and patience to uncover the truth before her husband’s reputation and their future are wrecked beyond repair.

Always good

I always enjoy this series and this book was no exception. Great characters and fun stories.

BRAVO, ANOTHER GREAT STORY

I love sliding into an interesting story by being fed tiny clues along the way, only you don't realize it until the killer is caught. I love the stories because you can just enjoy a good tale. It's similar to watching a magician, you know it's a trick but do not want to find out how it's done.
Vicki Jo Eva has a talent that brings the characters to life.
I hope everyone enjoys Ms. Noels' work as much as I do.

Not my Favorite

I hate to say it, but this series continues to disappoint. I’ve read the entire collection, and this book—along with The Anointed Woman—is easily among the weakest.It almost feels like the author is being rushed to push out more books, because the quality just isn’t there anymore. The characters don’t feel consistent with who they were earlier in the series—it’s like they’ve completely changed—and the storylines have become dull and unengaging.Overall, a frustrating read, especially considering how strong the series started.
