I have really enjoyed Tasha Alexander's first two books of Victorian Mysteries featuring Lady Emily Ashton as the amateur sleuth. In this third story lady Emily has to solve a murder to help the, wrongly accused, husband of her friend Ivy and that leads her to travel to Vienna in the aftermath of Kronprinz Rudolph's suicide and embroil herself with some unsavoury people from the anarchist movement. One of the things I like best about this series is that it has a very cosmopolitan feel. Lady Ashton travels abroad in each book and sees different societies. I really like Emily although sometimes she comes across as a bit too fearless. But she is mostly sensible, likes art and history and had the good taste of falling in love with Colin Hargreaves... clearly a very intelligent woman! Emily and Colin are attending a house party hosted by the disagreeable Lord Fortescue. Emily is feeling somewhat insecure as Colin's former mistress is also in attendance and it is obvious she has not forgotten him. When Lord Fortescue is murdered Ivy's husband, Robert Brandon, is the main suspect and she asks for Emily's help in finding the real murderer. While Colin is off doing secret work Emily follows a lead to Vienna in the company of Cecile du Lac and Bainbridge. I did like how Alexander described the Viennese society and it's underworld of plots and secret societies fighting for different political alliances. I'm not sure I was effectively convinced by her portrayal of Sissi but I also wasn't annoyed by it. I also liked that the answer to the mystery was not too obvious; it wasn't in his recent enemies or in his current behaviour although you could say it was due to his general behaviour towards people. My only complaint is that I think the story lacked more Emily / Colin scenes. I think it would have brought more depth to the characters. Hopefully that will happen in the next book.

Soon after Bette Robinson quits her horrendous Manhattan banking job - on somewhat of a whim - she finds herself in the employ of one of the city's hottest PR firms. Add a mix of ridiculous co-workers, trendy nightclubs, faux boyfriends, and potential real boyfriends, and hilarity ensues. As if the stresses of a new job, hyper-active social life, and trying to appease her granola-crunchy, activist parents weren't enough to deal with, Bette soon begins appearing in a vicious new gossip column that's taking Manhattan by storm. Will Bette allow the line between her personal and professional life to be obliterated for the sake of her career? I read The Devil Wears Prada when it came out a few years ago. I liked it. I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting from Weisberger's second novel, but I do know that I spent half the novel wondering if perhaps I'd picked up the wrong book from the shelf. That said, I still liked the main character and was rooting for her throughout the story. There were plenty of moments when I wanted to take her aside and give her a bit of advice, then bang my head against the wall because of the ridiculousness of it all. In the end I think Bette walks away a bit smarter then whence she came, and I suppose that's the ultimate goal. All in all I'd say this was entertaining, even enjoyable... but not necessarily essential. If I had to choose, I'd say Devil is the better read.
