Manolos in Manhattan

Marrying Mr Darcy #3

by Katie Oliver

In the city that never sleeps…

Strutting down Park Avenue in her new Manolos, Holly James looks like a woman who has it all. But beneath the Prada sunglasses, Holly has a mounting list of decidedly unfabulous problems. Right at the top? The fact that since her fiancé Jamie started spending all his time at his new restaurant (with his impossibly gorgeous sous-chef!), Holly has practically forgotten what he looks like…and started to feel a teensy bit paranoid.

…shopping is a twenty-four hour job!

So when her old flame Alex suggests they catch up, Holly jumps at the distraction. After all, what’s the harm in some window shopping? But when sinister thefts start taking place all over the city, the Big Apple begins to feel like a dangerous place...and Holly can’t help being relieved to have capable, commanding Alex so close by. Suddenly, Holly’s window shopping is veering worryingly close to an impulse buy! But would giving into temptation be an investment…or the biggest mistake of her life?

About the author

Katie Oliver loves a cozy mystery... and Jane Austen novels. So she put the two together to create Professor Phaedra Brighton, an intelligent, outspoken Austen scholar who teaches nineteenth century literature at Somerset University, a small liberal arts college located in Laurel Springs, Virginia.

When Phaedra lands in the middle of a puzzling murder mystery, she enlists the help of the members of the Jane Austen Tea Society, her good friends Lucy Liang and Marisol Dubois.

Ms. Oliver resides in South Florida with her husband, her computer, and an ever-growing stack of cozy mysteries waiting to be read.

Reviews

[Rachel Gilbey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Katie Oliver is back with another fantastic story, in the lives of Holly James, Natalie, Rhys, Christa and all the other characters that have been in the Mr Dacry series.

In this book we are even introduced to Mr. Darcy himself, Hugh Darcy, the lawyer for Dashwood and James department stores.

This time the whole book is set in Manhattan, as Dashwood and James department store is expanding and launching its new shop in New York. Rhys is working hard on the launch, and after BritTeeen magazine folded, Alastair, gave Holly (his daughter) a job in the store too, to help get it read for launching. Jamie, Holly's chef fiancee, also moves to Manhattan to open his new restaurant.

There are more storylines than I can count on my fingers, but I never got the feeling of being lost. There are multiple mysteries in this story, which you are continually trying to guess the outcome of. And in one case I was completely stumped.

There is romance galore, a few new love interests introduced including British film star Ciaran Duncan, and it seems he may have a hidden history with some of our wonderful recurring characters.

I really don't want to give too much away, but what I can say is if I you have been following this series so far, then you will want to read this. It is a well paced story, without a dull moment. I'm far too involved in the series to be able to judge fully if this can be read as a stand alone, but I suspect it can.

Really hope this isn't the last we see of this wonderful bunch of characters.

The best yet!

This was the best of the entire series. I am just sad it was the last of the series. You will not be disappointed from cover to cover it has it all. Humor, love, romance, mystery, adventure and all with the same characters. I'd have to say this was an absolute wonderfully written book and series.
