I had high hopes, but honestly this book wasn't very engaging for me at all. The main character was supposed to be stubborn, but I felt like her character was somewhat inconsistent in how she reacted to things. I liked the element of mystery, except that everything was so telegraphed I became bored watching the characters try to figure it out. The step-daughter was delightful, but I much preferred Smith's Perdita. If you want a similar mystery done much better, try Georgette Heyer's The Talisman Ring.
