I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. I'm not a fan of pirates and I didn't like Silence all that much based on her appearance in the earlier books.

Anyone out there who read the series in order as each book was published - had you worked out who the ghost was before the reveal at the end? ...more

Scandalous Desires is book 3 (I think) on the Maiden Lane series.
You don't need to have read the earlier books to make sense of this one, but it will make you more fully appreciate the awesome talent of this author if you have.
