Pleasant enough historical mystery

Portrait of a Lady by Diane A.S. Stuckart
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked it. This is (IMO) a good book, the second good book in a series--but not super fun. Medium fun. Respectably fun. So 3 stars.

I most liked it for reading at bedtime. Some other books are too intense or full of conflict or something, and I don't like to open them at night, but this one suits me. Closer to a cozy mystery than an action thriller. I felt all along it would be a pretty good episode in any number of tv shows, if somewhat adapted.

Light, pleasant, moderately engaging, competently written... if you like historical mysteries, you'd probably like this. Ish.
