white_hartI've got a bit behind on reading the Comfortable Courtesan books as they come out, mostly because I went away in September and although they would be perfect holiday reading the paperbacks are large enough for me not to want to have to take them away with me when I could just take my kindle; Sudden Death, the eighth in the series, came out at the end of July and I have two more in my to-read pile.
This instalment sees Clorinda concluding the round of house parties she embarked on in Society Favourite, enduring Cricket Bores, making new friends and, as the title suggests, dealing with the unexpected demise of a fellow-guest. Several new characters are introduced as Clorinda consolidates her position in society and becomes, even more, the person who solves everyone else's problems. (I adore this trope.) As always, it was a delight to read, and prompted me to recommend the series to even more people.
