From Amazon:

Gilded Age trouser diva Ella Shane and her Duke are at long last headed for the altar…but they’ll confront a murder, a shipwreck, a questionable Polish prince, and any number of other complications on the way. Continuing the highly praised series featuring a Lower East Side orphan who found fame and fortune as a singer of male soprano roles, this new installment follows Ella and her surprisingly diverse cast of family and friends through mystery and misadventure…and into the greatest challenge of all for an independent-minded woman and her Victorian swain: matrimony!

My Review:

I love a good romance, and that is what this book is. Indeed, more than one romance, add in a few thieves, a never do well prince, the acting and operatic world of New York City and a crime lord, plus all the nice things that happen at tea time. Mix liberally with one murder, and a Duke of her dreams, and Ella Shane pops to life after a worried three days waiting on word from her betrothed, who was on board a ship that sank in the northern Atlantic. The vintage clothing described herein fits perfectly in this novel.
