Alastair has shut himself away in his home, utterly distraught after finding out that his recently deceased wife was a junkie and a slut (not to put too fine a point on it) who may have leaked important political secrets that Alastair had shared with her to her lovers. The story opens in London in 1885, where Lord Michael de Grey is paying a concerned visit on his brother, the Duke of Marwick. The elements are there, but somehow That Scandalous Summer ended up being less than the sum of its parts, at least for me. Further, I’m not sure I can elucidate exactly why. For perhaps the first time, reading That Scandalous Summer, I ended up feeling…disappointed. So naturally each new book is eagerly anticipated. I’ve been a Meredith Duran fangirl since The Duke of Shadows was published in 2008 none of your books has received less than a B+ from me.
