Praise for The Essence of Malice: "In this highly enjoyable and engrossing mystery Ashley Weaver - with her sure touch for evoking elegance and glamour - wafts her appealing and determined heroine Amory into the world of perfumers, family secrets, and the heady whiff of murder. I loved the evocation of scents, skillful shifts of suspicion and the satisfying conclusion."--Frances Brody "The scent of murder and betrayal fills the Paris air . . . Weaver, a librarian, has a deft touch with the 1930s' upper-class repartee. The climactic surprise makes this the best of her mysteries to date."-- Kirkus Reviews "Sparkling...the power skirmishes between these equally clever spouses shine throughout."-- Publishers Weekly "The fourth addition to this lively historical series is one of its best with an evocative 1930s Parisian setting and an unexpected surprise climax." -- Library Journal (starred review) "This novel presents an intricate puzzle to solve. It has roots in the tradition of upper-crust amateur sleuths from the era but remains fresh and unpredictable. The main characters are sophisticated, stylish, and multi-dimensional." -- Historical Novel Society "The Ameses make a beautiful pair, stylish and clever, and Weaver infuses her story with all of the Golden Age splendor a reader could want . . . This is an excellent entrée into a delightful (librarian-penned) series." -- Booklist Praise for the Amory Ames Mysteries: "Fans with fond memories of Georgette Heyer's mysteries set in the same period will be delighted with the gallery of suspects and the edgy romance." -- Kirkus Reviews "Sure to appeal to Agatha Christie devotees." -- Booklist "It's all very Downton Abbey ... [Weaver] channels the ambiance and spirit of British society during the post-World War I years." -- Associated Press "With a profound nod to the Golden Age of the British whodunit, Weaver creates a classic mystery, complete with a fashionable setting, a cast of upper-crust Brits, and witty prose." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "Captivating.... Fascinating and stylish characters fill out a finely tuned traditional mystery." -- Publishers Weekly on A Most Novel Revenge "This debut novel by a librarian lays the foundation for a stylish series with Milo and Amory channeling Nick and Nora Charles." -- Booklist on Murder at the Brightwell "A spunky heroine, a tense romance and red herrings galore make Weaver's debut a pleasant read for nostalgia buffs who miss Agatha Christie." -- Kirkus Reviews on Murder at the Brightwell "Fans with fond memories of Georgette Heyer's mysteries set in the same period will be delighted with the gallery of suspects and the edgy romance." -- Kirkus Reviews on Death Wears a Mask, Praise for the Amory Ames Mysteries "Fans with fond memories of Georgette Heyer's mysteries set in the same period will be delighted with the gallery of suspects and the edgy romance." - Kirkus Reviews "Sure to appeal to Agatha Christie devotees." - Booklist "It's all very Downton Abbey ...

I ordered a set of books in a specific trunk WHICH WAS IN THE LISTING and only received the books. After contacting them and waiting for eBay to step in, they admitted that there was "a mistake in the phrasing" of the listing title and offered me less than HALF a refund. When I said that was unacceptable, they claimed it was obviously a "used" item and didn't come with the trunk.Harry Potter Hardcover Boxed Set: Books 1-7 [Trunk] (#306032637844)
