"Enchanting...Alexander keeps readers guessing to the very end."-Publishers Weekly
DANGEROUS TO KNOW
Lady Emily Series #5
"Along with swift narrative and impeccable research is Alexander's commitment to understanding the place women held in the culture and era—no 21st century transplants here...You don't get cheap veneers of history from Alexander; you get a great story and a heroine you admire—and a sense of the women who really did change history 100 years ago." —Nashville Lifestyles Magazine
"Tasha Alexander’s clever dialogue, along with her convincing period detail, brings life to her story and showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Normandy countryside. Considering its incomparable setting and irresistible characters, Lady Emily’s fan club is sure to grow by leaps and bounds with DANGEROUS TO KNOW."—Bookreporter
"Dangerous to Know is in many ways an homage to the Victorian authors, such as Mary Elizabeth Braddon, that Alexander so obviously loves. Gothic elements abound: there is a ghostly face in a tower window; other-worldly cries echo through the night; madness haunts a family; and an asylum looms large in the plot. There is also a brother/sister relationship that is positively Brontëan..Alexander even provides her own version of the Byronic hero...charming enough to make even a cynical twenty-first century reader swoon a little...Across the series, Alexander has clearly worked very hard to keep her characters true to their time and station while giving them the space to stretch their limits. So Lady Emily is never going to look on a corpse with cold dispassion. But she’s never going to turn away from one, either."—Chapter 16
