Victorian Bookshop Mystery #4
The Conspiring Woman
From the author of The Counterfeit Lady and The Royal Assassin comes an all-new Victorian Bookshop Mystery featuring antiquarian bookseller Georgia Fenchurch, who doubles as a private investigator for the secret Archivist Society...
When Georgia Fenchurch is called in to find Sir Edward Hale's missing son, she's soon embroiled in multiple mysteries. After discovering young Teddy's been taken by his mother, her worry lessens. But further investigation reveals other well-to-do women have disappeared. Have they been kidnapped? Killed? Or is there something even more sinister going on...
To muddle the mix further, the Duke of Blackford has asked to speak with Georgia when he returns to England. It's almost enough to distract any woman.
Once Lady Hale is found dead, Georgia knows the Archivist Society must focus their efforts on finding the truth behind her disappearance and rescuing her son. But then a villain from Georgia's own past resurfaces...

I enjoy this mystery series. I find that Kate Parker has a wonderful way of drawing up her main characters, whom often have a quirky side to them.
Although this seems to be the last book in this series it was still a fun story to read. I found that it was also quite easy to figure out who the murderer was--but this doesn't bother me. I sort of thought that the last page was stilted--somehow it just didn't quite fit...
All in all 4.5 stars.

The fourth entry in the Victorian Bookstore Mystery series, this book has the reader turning pages to find out what happened to Sir Edward Hale's missing son and wife. Georgia and her colleagues have to follow many dangerous twists and turns until the truth becomes known. Adding to Georgia's stress is that Lord Blackmore, whom she secretly loves, has asked to speak with her as soon as he returns from his trip abroad, and she is sure he is about to announce that he has found someone to become his duchess while he was away. This is another very satisfying entry in this series.

The mystery was convoluted
The mystery was complicated. Ultimately it took people telling the truth to see who the murderer was. That made the stuff before that truth really unnecessary. Oh, and i don't like what happens with the murderer. seemed lazy. i do love the characters and how they interact.

The Conspiring Woman is the fourth in Kate Parker’s Victorian Bookshop Mystery series, continuing the adventures of Georgia Fenchurch and the Archivist Society. With the Duke of Blackford off touring his American investments, Georgia undertakes the search for a missing child and his mother. When Lady Hale is found dead, the Archivists soon discover that she’s not the only wealthy, and unhappy, wife to disappear in recent months. Where is her little boy? And what’s become of those missing women? Georgia finds some surprising answers in her search for a killer—and then the Duke comes home.
I hope there will be more Victorian Bookshop Mysteries, but in the meantime The Conspiring Woman wraps up some questions that have run through the series and sets Georgia on a new path.

Love this series and fear this may be the final book as the author has since released a book in a new series (equally good). Again the plot spins out smar lay and the characters are well drawn and appealing. Hope this isn't the last we see of them!!

I enjoy period mysteries. This was good and I might read the others in the series

*Review somehow got moved under two books (one not even this one) so deleted and reposted it under here.*
----
The only bad part about these books is that I finish them so quickly... so easy to get lost in this world and sink again into these character's lives. BookFamily, plain and simple:)
Needless to say, another wonderful installment... it felt weird in a way without Emma and Blackford there right from the beginning even though I knew the reasons why. It felt like part of the family was missing still.
The mystery here was very interesting and went a couple of places I didn't expect... one suspect I did disagree with Georgia on earlier than she let go of it, but at least she let the facts dictate what she did and not try to shape the evidence around this person.
The steady pace still fits series, we get a good sense of everything happening as the clues start to pile together and culminate in the culprit being revealed.
The culprit was a clever one, I'll give them that.
The subject of one character still had me wanting to kick him repeatedly, among other things
One thing I did have spoiled for me accidentally but I was still grinning like a fool when the one part actually happened, re-read it a couple times actually and practically bouncing in my seat.
Won't even tag spoilers here for ya, hurry up and read and we can discuss it :-P... I'll be over here *points to the chair*
Side note: My favorite of new people in this book was Lady Moffat, just putting that out there hehe.
Only complaint I have was the slight recaps from the previous books got on my nerves after awhile... it's the 4th book in the series, they really shouldn't be put in as much (just my opinion, didn't damper my enjoyment of the story).

The Conspiring Woman by Kate Parker was a complex mystery that included murder, missing women, and an old nemesis. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it from cover to cover without stopping. There were enough twists to keep me guessing and I was intrigued by the missing women secondary mystery in this book. I was unaware of this type of "help" for women during this time period. I would love to see this series continue as it looks as if Georgia's dreams may come true in the fifth (and what I understand to be the final book in this series) The Detecting Duchess.

I adore this series, but the one thing stopping them from being five star reads for me is that they are overly descriptive & a bit repetitive. How many times do we need to be told that she’s a middle class shop bookstore owner & that’s why she can’t marry the Duke of Blackford??
Despite that one little thing, Georgia has really grown on me & I love all the secondary characters.
This can be read as a stand-alone book, but like all books in a series, I don’t recommend it

This was fine, but the main character has become more and more unlikeable as the series has gone on. Very wishy-washy and whiny. I'm undecided if I'll read the next book in the series, but since it is the last, I feel like I should.

The Duke is away and while Georgia misses him she's quite eager to continue her detecting work with the Archivist Society. Sir Edward Hale has hired them to find his missing son. His wife as also disappeared but he really doesn't care about her whereabouts - only his son. Georgia quickly finds the son but his location and the people who have him only leads to more questions especially when the mother's dead body is soon discovered. This was the weakest in the series as Georgia just kept doing so many stupid things - all things she should have learned by now not to do. I still really enjoy the characters though and their journey has been fun to follow.

Dollycas’s Thoughts
I am so sorry to see this series ending. It truly is one of my favorites. Kate has wrapped things up with a magnificent bow.
The Archivist Society has a new case. A woman and her son are missing and strangely the husband only wants his son found. This raises many flags for Georgia especially when the mother is murdered. Sir Edward becomes her prime suspect. She travels all over London to find the boy and when she finds him she has huge reservations about reuniting him with his father.
The Duke of Blackford is traveling about America and Georgia can’t wait until he returns. She is afraid he may have found a bride while he was gone. His letters don’t ease her fears.
Kate Parker transports us to Victorian England. The imagery is superb. I don’t think I could ever live in England with all that rain but the cover of the book looks so inviting at this time of year.
The characters in the series are some of the most enjoyable I have known. Georgia seems to have no fear and her inquisitive nature makes her a top-notch sleuth. Blackford is quite a gentleman and needs a woman like Georgia. Sir Broderick deals with a disability on a daily basis but leads The Archivist Society and negotiates the sales of treasured books better than anyone else could. As a disabled person myself it is so good to read about a man like him. All of the characters are wonderfully created and so full of depth.
In addition to the missing boy mystery, the author also wraps up the mystery of Georgia Fenchurch parent’s death and the incident that left Sir Broderick in a wheelchair. I was very surprised with the way this played out. What people would do for a rare book is just astounding.
Things do wrap up quickly because the author did not want to leave her readers hanging. When a publisher ends a series the author often doesn’t know until the last book has been released. I applaud Kate Parker for self publishing this last book. I would love to read more about these characters but am excited to know she has a new series in the works. She shares the first chapter of Deadly Scandal with us and it looks very promising.
I have loved every book in this series. The trips back in time are so captivating. I recommend reading this series in order to follow the progression but they each can be read on their own. Thank you Kate for sharing Georgia and her friends with us.

A good end to the series. I enjoyed it a lot and am sad to see it go! My favorite part of this book, as with the previous three was the strengths of each character. I loved them all and I liked seeing them grow and solve mysterious!
June 14, 2017
Cute end to the series. Wraps up all the major plotlines and answers lingering questions.
** Correction: apparently Kate Parker hopes to continue the series in 2017 (yay!). If that's the case, I'm looking forward to reading more adventures of Georgia, Blackford and the Archivist Society.

Great personal developments for long time readers. Really good mystery storyline to boot. Warmed your heart the way the major case turned out despite appearances. Quite the interesting story about adultery in Victorian times.

The series had been progressing well, with the characters growing the mysteries getting a little better at being slightly less predictable. The worldbulding was still moving along as well. However, with this book things seemed to stall and slide backward. Georgia begins to pick up bad habits, or rather unwelcome characteristics of the first book, including her arrogance, and claims at cleverness that just aren't exhibited by her actions. Perhaps it's the absence of Blackford to keep her in check.
The mystery and plot begin well enough with the missing son being sought. However, from around the 1/3rd mark or so of the book, the perpetrator becomes obvious. Especially when more of the mother's secrets are revealed. It quickly becomes annoying that the characters ignore the blatant facts and start making up motives for the obviously non-involved parties. It's like happening upon a murder scene and instead of the characters focusing on the person holding the bloody instrument of death, they look at a bystander and point and say- 'oh it must be that person standing 20 feet away without any reason at all to wish harm to the victim, but the person is wearing the same color shirt, so that must be evidence of the person's guilt'.
The same holds true for the plotline. At one point Georgia has in her hand a note saying 'I will kill you.' but does she think for one second that person could be the one who committed the crime? No, she and her motley crew suspect everyone else. It takes Frances, yes Frances the not oft seen character, to point out- oh maybe the person who wrote that is the perpetrator. Surprisingly, Georgia is the one who begins to dismiss her surmise. Seriously, after all her bluster about how open-minded she is, she begins to shoot down Frances' suggestion based on her own incorrect conjecture about the capability of the person, even though said capability was previously discussed as being entirely possible.
There are a few redeeming qualities, such as the interesting interplay between Blackford and Georgia when Blackford returns. Their interaction was perhaps more interesting than the mystery. But as far as the mystery goes, it was rather lackluster with the perpetrator being quite obvious to anyone even paying half-attention. The only non-obvious thing about the perpetrator was how they were going to prove it, other than the note.
Overall, there were interesting bits and pieces. The reader gets to find out more about the side characters and there even seems to be a bit of flirting on the part of Jacob's boss with Georgia, and though it was hinted at, the idea seemed to be dropped completely as the story went on, almost like the writer intended to do something with it, but then said, forget it. There's also a nice interplay when Blackford makes his appearance which has the added upside of bringing Georgia's character back to what it had been growing to be in the 2nd and 3rd books.

A series of victorian bookshop mystery, series in Reading order ;
1 The Vanishing Thief
2 The Counterfeit Lady
3 The Royal Assassin
4 The Conspiring Woman
What's the point of a crime book with knowing the criminal in the middle of the story.
I don't like to give bad reviews, but I have too,.
My first book for this Author, her description of surroundings and environment is nice.
Writing style is good, but what killed this book for me is the Heroine. She had no sensibility at all, her actions, reactions, thinking methods are really useless.
I likeed all the characters but her, and I was really waiting to finish this book just to get rid of it.
It's a story about an agency or an establishment for investigation agency, who deal with many incidents and crimes.
The Heroine is hired to investigate in a dissapearing of someone, after that the whole case turns to murder, then kidnapping, after that second murder, many complications and extra sequences.
The criminal is known in the middle of the book and the Heroine still thinking and trying to find what's happening. I didn't like this book, at all

This is a historical mystery novel set in 1897 in London, England. It's the fourth book in a series but works as a stand-alone. I quit at about 66%. I've enjoyed the previous books in the series, and I enjoy the historical details woven into the mysteries. However, the Duke wasn't in this one for 2/3rds of the book. There was a clue early on that Georgia noticed but never made a connection that she should have. She's generally smart and asked good questions, but then acted so stupid. Someone she thinks might be the murderer (and who wants her to stop making trouble with his wife) agreed to meet her at the same spot that the murdered woman was killed and under the same circumstances (very foggy, after dark, near the Thames, etc.). Georgia ran off by herself to confront them, not even taking a weapon. At least she told someone where she was going. When her rescuer pointed out things she should have noticed (things I'd guessed), she didn't exactly appreciate it. As I'm certain of whodunit, I see no point in finishing if she's going to be foolish. There was no sex or bad language.

This book is the 4th of (currently) 5 books in the Victorian Bookshop series.
I've really enjoyed it very much, especially because of the setting, which is the end of the 19th century in London, England.
The protagonist Georgia is the owner of a bookshop and also active in a secret society which helps solves crimes that Scotland Yard either has not solved or the clients do not wish to involve the police. Georgia's was orphaned at 17 when her parents, the bookshop owners, were killed in a fire set by a mysterious man looking for a very special Bible.
The books develop the characters as the reader goes through the series. I learned a tremendous amount about society and the "caste" system and the behavior of royals. There is also a chaste romance that in uncertain and develops much further in this book.
I highly recommend this series for those who enjoy cozy mysteries with well-researched the history and society of the times.

I love this series, and this book was no exception!
Georgia is a wonderful character. She's intelligent, resourceful, and determined when it comes to resolving the cases she takes on for The Archivist Society, but she's also kind and understanding about the situations she comes up against, and it makes her very likable.
The cast of supporting characters in this series are also so entertaining and likable. I am very fond of all of them.
The investigation in this book was exciting and dangerous, with plenty of action and intrigue. Honestly, I am a huge fan of Kate Parker, and have very much enjoyed almost all her books that I've read.
I will definitely look forward excitedly for the next book in this series, based on how this one ended [no spoilers!] and I have another Kate Parker book on my shelf that I hope to get to very soon.

Georgia is on her own for the first half of this book and she seems to think running all over London in severe weather is going to get her somewhere. Yes, she learns things, but some of the most obvious conclusions are ignored for wild assumptions. I really like this series and the characters, but this one was my least favorite.

I love this series and Georgia and her companions. The mystery is very interesting and so brilliant, though I discovered the culprit from the start. The inquiring was good and punctual. I love the environment too, so english.

Great Mystery(s)
What a wonderful enjoyable mystery (or two, or three). Victorian England in winter. So much action and adventure, with this bookshop owner you never know what to expect.

Enjoyable read, my first introduction to this series, so there is unknown back story about some of the characters. I would be interested in going back to read earlier books in the series. However, the book can be read as a stand alone. New author to me. I read an ebook version.
August 23, 2022
Love the premise of this series, having read them all in last two months! This one a few slow spots as the heroine Georgia keeps interviewing people, trying to figure out who killed Mrs. Hale. Kept reading to discover how the Duke will change her mind when he returns from America.
January 21, 2023
Excellent and exciting
This was one of my favorites! The killer was very clever and persistent. Also, the mystery of the missing Guttenberg Bible was put to rest. This was a great read.

Good for those following the series.

Kind of thought this was a weak ending to the mystery that has been plaguing Georgia. Really thought after all the encounters in the previous books that this was going to be a main element in a future book and the way it turned out to be presented in this one, it seemed like almost an afterthought.
