A Lark's Flight (Verity Lark Mysteries #2)
by
by
A labyrinth of a mystery
I’m a huge fan of Messina’s and in Verity Lark she has outdone herself. For Verity is a chameleon, and every guise she adopts has a personality cut from whole cloth. So the reader needs to pay attention. Where Beatrice, Duchess of Keswick is an anomaly of the Ton, Verity dwells in the world of trade.
Messina writes with a satiric eye
and subtle humour; the conversations between Verity and Delphine are a joy. Yet the humour is the spoonful of sugar that lets her explore themes of abandonment, cruelty, poverty and avarice. As usual, her characters are flesh and blood (though I suspect Verity is part superwoman). A cornucopia of delight, but again, pay attention.
