Manners and Means

Meer over het boek

Manners and Means combines high fantasy with an old-fashioned house mystery, using a lush setting and a tight whodunit to sweep the reader right along with young Mistral, an account manager on the grand estate of Lord Gregori, as he attempts to catch a killer. Mistral lives in a world most can only imagine, an exotic winter paradise where beauty and youth are prized above all, and where finding a permanent place takes skill and desire. An attack on the Lord of the manner has Mistral suspecting everyone, from friends to lovers. Not knowing whom to trust, Mistral must find the would-be murderer before they find him, and before they uncover the secret he keeps to protect those he loves. The mystery leads Mistral on a dangerous journey, where everything he thought he knew about his life becomes a lie, and where finding love can be life-threatening. Full from start to finish with intrigue, suspense, and erotic encounters fraught with danger and desperation, Manners and Means leads the reader in an intricate dance of court politics and lover's plots that never fails to entertain. Author Julia Talbot creates a decadent world, where lovers may also be enemies. Sink into it today!
