Julia Londonin historiallisessa viihderomaanissa juonitellaan ja salaillaan sekä yritetään selvittää mysteeriä hiukan dekkaria muistuttavassa tarinassa: The year of living scandalously (Pocket Books, 2010; ISBN 978-1-4391-7545-3).
Kirja on sujuvasti kirjoitettu mutta sisällöltään tyhjähkö hömppäromaani, josta jäi varsin vähän mieleen.
When Declan O’Connor, Earl of Donnelly, arrives at Hadley Green to meet with Lily Boudine, the new countess of Ashwood, he knows instantly that the lovely woman who welcomes him is not who she pretends to be. In an attempt to avoid an unwanted marriage, Keira Hannigan has assumed her cousin’s identity and is staying at the estate while Lily is abroad.
When Declan threatens to expose her, Keira convinces him to guard her secret, then enlists him in her investigation of the missing jewels, for she now believes an innocent man was hanged.
