Beloved and Unseemly

Concordia Wells #5

by K.B. Owen

A stolen blueprint, a dead body, and wedding bells…. Change is in the air at Hartford Women's College in the fall of 1898. Renowned inventor Peter Sanbourne—working on Project Blue Arrow for the Navy—heads the school's new engineering program, and literature professor Concordia Wells prepares to leave to marry David Bradley. The new routine soon goes awry when a bludgeoned body—clutching a torn scrap of the only blueprint for Blue Arrow—is discovered on the property Concordia and David were planning to call home. To unravel the mystery that stands between them and their new life together, Concordia must navigate deadly pranks, dark secrets, and long-simmering grudges that threaten to tear apart her beloved school and leave behind an unseemly trail of bodies.

Murder and mayhem

Murder, murder, attempted murder and more murder with just as many suspects. The twists and turns made me read this straight through! Loved it!

A 2.5 stars for me.
A bit long and boring.

Fantastic

This gentle mystery is a joy to read. Ms Owen is a wonderful writer. The plot has many twists and turns and carries you along from beginning to end. I particularly loved the leisurely pace that allowed me to enjoy the excellent writing along the way.

Good read

A good edition to the series. Familiar characters and a good story. Awaiting further additions to the series. It should be an adventurous honeymoon...
