Lord Ashworth was a sadistic, women tourturing murderer. But who murdered him? Was is Sebastian, who vowed to destroy him? Was it Sebastian's niece, who ended up marrying the dasdardly lord? Or was it someone who was privy to his secrets that finally put him down.

The mystery was lively, and the final reveal of the killer was a bit suprising. I wasn't quite prepared for it in the end. With a little dash of Russian intrigue thrown in as well.

This was a great installment in the series, I just wish there was more for Hero to do. She was regulated to mainly side-kick duties in this one, and she is one of my favorite characters. I hope she gets more to do in further installments!
