Late for the Wedding

by Amanda Quick
Tobias march and Lavinia Lake are back again as London’s 19th century PI’s. If you’ve ever wanted to know about the connection between crime and wig making in 19th century England then this book is for you. Also, if you’re an Amanda Quick fan this won’t disappoint.


I liked the pairing of Tobias and Lavinia in Slightly Shady. Two complete opposites who don’t quite get along but they are the only ones for each other. Her antics and his stoicism were great to read.

In Late for the Wedding, Tobias’s and Lavinia’s romantic weekend is disturbed by the murder of a guest where they are staying. Naturally, they are obliged to find the killer without killing each other.

The story doesn’t advance the story of these two except to anticipate when they will get married. It’s rather formulaic with an interesting recounting of wig-making and wig fashion in England with a bit of mystery thrown in. There aren’t two many hot love scenes between the two. They should be having a lot more sex.

If you love Amanda Quick or love Tobias and Lavinia and their private inquiry business then this is a must read. If not I’d say skip it unless you don’t have anything else to read.
