Book Review: A Terribly Nasty Business (Beatrice Steele #2) by Julia Seales
A Terribly Nasty Businessis a charming and amusing sequel. After finally whetting her true crime appetite by solving her first case, Beatrice Steele takes on London as both a society miss in search of a husband and an inspector with her ever curt, ever logical partner, Vivek Drake. It's quite a balancing act in this one with Beatrice having to contend with gruesome murders, artist censorship in the community, pressure from her marriage-minded mama, and a tangled little love triangle.
All in all, I thought this was an enjoyable addition to the series, though not quite as captivating as the first book. I believe the satirical bits didn't land as hard and the mystery got to be too involved. I did quite like the romantic tension between Beatrice and Drake, though. It was delicious. I hope to see more of that as the series continues.
Special thanks to NetGalley and Random House for the ARC in exchange for my review.
3/5 stars
