A Dangerous Engagement: Glamour and murder in Prohibition New York by Ashley WeaverMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Amory and Miles travel to New York for a wedding and get thrust into a world of intrigue, suspicion, bootleggers and illicit nightclubs.
Staying with the bride-to-be and her father at his swanky mansion Amory detects a lot of uneasiness. Her friend Tabitha seems uneasy about the upcoming wedding, Tabitha is worried about her father, one of the groomsmen is rumoured to be socialising with gangsters (and worse). Drawn into things against her will Amory soon finds herself playing detective again when one of the wedding party is gunned down on the steps of the mansion.
This series is growing on me, initially I thought the identity of the murderers were pretty obvious but they have become less obvious as the series progresses. I also enjoy the slow reveal of Amory and Miles' marriage as they progress from distrust and division towards something closer, I like that they no longer seem to reset to distrust at the start of every book.
I can't wait to read the next chapter of their relationship.
