I love historical suspense set in England so I looked forward to reading this book with great anticipation. And it was an enjoyable read. Yet, when I finished it, I
was left wanting more. I wanted to love
Bay as much as Charlotte and Sisi did but
his character development wasn't quite thorough enough to remove my misgivings
about him. After it was stated in the
beginning that Bay had fathered a child,
this was hardly mentioned again. This may have been perfectly acceptable in Victorian times but it left me fearing that Bay was a cad as Augusta and Fred feared. I would have loved to have seen some resolution of that situation. Despite my reservations, I found FORTUNE HUNTER a fast, intriguing novel. I give it 4 Stars.
