Of this trilogy, this was definitely the most disappointing.  The mystery was ridiculous (an attempt to be like Georgette Heyer, but totally failing because the culprit was so incredibly obvious...the red herring attempt was pathetic). The misunderstanding was silly...really? REALLY? There are some good points: I really did like the characters,especially if you read the first two books...I liked the cheerful Sedgwick in those books, and the brother is a good, normal brother. Also, at least there was a good reason for her to wear breeches...so often these books just throw the female into male clothes with the slimmest of justifications. Further, I felt like the book spent enough time in the building of the relationship, that the silly misunderstanding did not totally derail my enjoyment of the story. One last thing that did annoy me, however...and sorry if this is a bit of a spoiler (come on, we all know how this kind of story ends...), but after what his sister just confessed she was willing to agree to...as if her brother would have just left her there in an isolated location, wearing breeches,with a man. Whatever.
