The historical 19th century novel "Scandal on Half Moon Street" deals with the aberrations and confusions of a love triangle á la Jane Austen.Lady Wotton still has one daughter left to marry and this season is almost over. Beautiful young Anne is tempted by the most charming and handsome man his grace the First Duke of Cumberland, the best match there is. Still his reputation isn't that promising and he is unpredictable, having destroyed various young girls reputations in London's society. On the other side there is her privat love Frederick a popular gothic novel writer she meets secretly behind her mothers back. Will Anne find out the meaning of true love and resist the temptations of the mysterious Duke?As soon as I started reading this book I could not put it away until the end. I was sucked into the world of the 19th century London. The author understands to describe the atmosphere of that time, the feelings and thoughts of the main protagonists. It is a very entertaining read I even felt as being a secret observer at a ball back then. If you like Books like "Pride and Prejudice" that is the choice for you!
