A fascinating story, but at times, it had a tendency to drag.Lydia Garrett and Lord Anthony Danbury are an unlikely pair. She works at a coffee house, he is an aristocrat. But they do have one thing in common. To catch a murderer. Lydia’s guardian and Lord Danbury’s father have both been murdered, and it would seem their deaths are somehow linked. Lydia finds the link between the two men in a diary, and Lord Danbury learns that Lydia’s guardian had been on the same ship as his father. They both learn of an amazing tale regarding the spiriting away of something called The Peacock Throne.Now, Lydia, Lord Danbury, and Marcus Harting—a government official that thinks Danbury isn’t as innocent as he would like everyone to believe—set out to find not only the murderer, but the throne that was hidden years ago. Unfortunately, they are not the only ones seeking the throne. The French are quick on their heels to find the location of the throne and take it for themselves. Lydia, Danbury, and Harting embark on an amazing adventure that takes them over the high seas, through tribe inhabited jungles, and to foreign lands. There hope is to draw out the murderer before he can capture the throne or cause any more bloodshed.I enjoyed THE PEACOCK THRONE with its twist and turns, but the pacing of the book was a bit slow for my liking. The main characters were well fleshed out, and the secondary characters added to the depth of the story. Lydia is strong-willed, but still every bit a woman. The attraction that both Lord Danbury and Marcus Harting begin to feel towards Lydia makes for an intriguing triangle. But knowing two of the three are deceiving the other will keep the reader interested in not only the outcome of the throne but who will win Lydia’s heart. The last third of the book moves at a quicker pace, but the middle was a bit slow. Still, it was an adventurous read.Book provided for review purposes.

I would like to first say how much I love historical fiction By Jalynn Patterson About the Book:When Miss Lydia Garrett's guardian is murdered, and the authorities refuse to investigate the odd circumstances, she vows to catch the culprit.

When the amateur sleuths join forces with the professional agent, the quest for the throne leads them around the globe on an adventure steeped in danger, treachery, and romance.My Review: I would like to first say how much I love historical fiction. It is a history lesson and usually a beautifully fantastic love story all rolled up into one. This one is set in the 1800's so it is a murder mystery, romance, and history. It is a story filled with intrigue and it pulls you in right away and in a split second you are transported back in time and before long I was trying to help Anthony and Lydia. It is a mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With a very well researched plot lone and a unique story all it's own The Peacock Throne left me breathless right up to the last many especially when the plot thickens and twists and turns start occurring. You can follow right along with the investigation and come up with your own conclusions. A very well written story!**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the author.

And Lord Danbury, father of Anthony Danbury is murdered. Lydia and Anthony find each other and realize that the two men served together in the navy. They find correspondence that links the men's time in the navy with the murders- and a reference to the Peacock Throne, an Indian treasure. Marcus Wiltshire is also interested in the murders. He's a British intelligence agent who has heard rumors that Napolean Bonaparte wants to return the throne to India and cause trouble between the English government and India. The three end up together seeking the throne and attempting to find out who has been behind the murders.I liked the premise of this story. It's a different scenario than one I've read before. But, although the book was interesting, it wasn't my favorite. I never felt as though the characters were well-developed. I found myself wanting to get to know them more. There was more action and dialogue and less introspection on the part of the characters.Another thing that made the story one I wasn't as taken with is the historical setting. I don't enjoy the very formal, stilted interactions between the characters. Although I know that it's probably historically accurate, I think it makes it harder to connect with and understand the characters- especially if there is supposed to be a developing romance.All in all, this is a story that is different enough to be interesting, and it can be enjoyable if you like the time period. I give The Peacock Throne 3.5 stars and a G rating for content.
