Having just read both And Only to Deceive, by Tasha Alexander, and Silent in the Grave, by Deanna Raybourn, I wanted to compare the two, as they both begin with two newly-minted widows impatient with living in mourning and eventually deciding to investigate their late husbands' legacies. Engagingly suspenseful and rich with period detail, And Only to Deceive provides a fascinating look at the repressive social mores and painstaking rules of etiquette in Victorian high society. Barrier-breaking sleuth Nancy Drew has nothing on Alexander's fearless and tenacious Lady Emily, and readers will be glad to discover that there's an encore performance in the works for this unconventional heroine. · If you haven't guessed by now, AND ONLY TO DECEIVE is the first in Tasha Alexander 's series of Victorian mysteries featuring Lady Emily Ashton. A series that has a fair bit in common with Deanna Raybourn 's Julia Grey novels. Emily, like Julia, is made a young and rather sudden widow at the start of the story/5.
And Only to Deceive (Lady Emily, #1) Published October 10th by William Morrow Paperbacks. Paperback, pages. Author (s): Tasha Alexander (Goodreads Author) ISBN: X (ISBN ) Edition language: English. REVIEW: And Only to Deceive by Tasha Alexander. Victorian era books are just not my favorites. I freely admit that is due to shallow reasons such as the ugly way most men wore their facial hair and the drabness of their clothes, ghastly women's hairstyles (all slicked down with sugar water) and the image that I have of a repressed society.
