Synopsis

Maggie Macleod was weary of life with a soul sickness that ate into every fiber of her being. In a mad way, it did not seem strange to her that she should be on her way to the high court to stand trial for the murder of her husband. Her marriage seemed to have been one long, dreary desert lit by flares of cruelty. But Maggie is innocent in the matter of her beastly husband's death, and she resolves to answer the question that plagues her: Who did murder the man?M. C. Beaton brings Regency England vividly to life in this tale of murder and romance.

Meh. Maggie falls for a movie star despite herself. The most lighthearted of Maggie's books and that's a good thing, poor girl needed a break. But the whole "ugh I can't stand movie stars but oh Tyler's so REAL oh but eww reporters" just got whiny and annoying after a while. Like, ease up, Maggie, l......more

Goodreads review by Anna on May 29, 2009

35. California Diaries: Maggie, by Ann M. Martin. I like CD, and I like the Maggie books best of all because they are the easiest to read. That said, this book was totally ridiculous because it was about sort-of dating a movie star. Not even falling in love with a movie star, just kind of "I like hi......more
