Book Review: A Treacherous Performance (Beatrice Hyde-Clare Mysteries #5)

A Treacherous Performance (Beatrice Hyde-Clare Mysteries #5)
A Treacherous Performance
Lynn Messina
4/5

For the fifth book in the Beatrice Hyde-Clare Mysteries, Beatrice and the Duke of Kesgrave are finally going to get married. Until they are delayed by the scandal of her most recent mystery. They agree to postpone a week, which I felt was reasonable but they were losing their minds the whole time. In the grand scheme of the series, this one was not really my favorite. The mystery wasn't as interesting, but I liked the continued progression of Bea and Damien's romance.

As Kindle Unlimited series go, this is a pretty good one. Though the mystery wasn't as interesting to me, this one won bonus points for the character development all around. Bea was such a wallflower and Damien was so obnoxious, Bea has gained so much confidence in herself and Damien knows when to step back. Not to mention Flora, who left her comfort zone to pursue the mystery and now has so much potential as an investigator in her own right.

It wasn't a shocking book, but it did give a lot more insight and is thus invaluable in the series as a whole. I'm excited for the next one and can't wait to see what they do next.
