The Chess Queen Enigma page 56:

I walked gingerly, taking great care not to catch my slender heels on any layers of skirt, petticoat, or lace flounced. It seemed as if every time I encountered Inspector Grayling, I was either tripping, falling, or dripping wet from an unexpected swim.

  4. This one is new to me but I can empathize with the heroine. I am spotlighting Burning Midnight by Will McIntosh this week. Look for my review tomorrow. Happy reading!

  5. I love the cover and the 56. That sounds like something I would worry about if I was having to deal with a gown. I hope you enjoy this one! I will have to look for it.
