Her ruse is almost up when she is discovered by Mr. Samir Lathrop, the local bookseller, who tries to save her from drowning while she's actually just washing up in a lake after burying her brother. Her plan is going by the book, until the rector proposes marriage and she starts to develop feelings for Mr. Lathrop.

The facts drawn from history is outlined in the chapter after the book, and those are the strongest arguments for reading this story, they imply that this ‘could’ have been a believable story.It is not, though. It is cute, funny, so sweet at times that it’ll make your teeth ache, it is unrealistically politically correct (for the time) and things are a little too tidy.. but if it wasn’t, it would have been a heartbreaking story of the life of women and POC in the 18th century. Instead it is a cozy-crime set in history. The narrator is one of my favorites, which is why I was recommended this book. But she is overdramatizing in this one. She is gushing and whining throughout this book, which is very annoying.I know this sounds like I hated the book. I didn’t, despite the points I criticize. It is very entertaining..
