Reseña del libro "El Tercer Circulo (Amor y Aventura)"
Leona Hewitt, una talentosa experta en cristales, no es la unica que esta intentando introducirse en el museo privado de Lord Delbridge para recuperar una reliquia. Thaddeus Ware, un hipnotizador con habilidades psiquicas, tambien esta embarcado en una mision similar Una apasionante historia que transcurre en la epoca victoriana y combina romance e intriga con elementos sobrenaturales. / In Quick's (Jayne Ann Krentz's pseudonym) mediocre latest installment to the Arcane Society series, Leona Hewitt, a crystal reader, and Thaddeus Ware, a hypnotist, meet trying to steal the same relic-the aurora stone-from a private collection, but a murdered prostitute and a trap protecting the stone initially complicate their success. Thaddeus, hired by the Arcane Society to claim the stone, allows the plot's loudly grinding gears to ally him with Leona. Both Leona and Thaddeus are sensible and pragmatic, qualities that make for efficient sleuths but passionless lovers, and Quick has to try unusually hard to make their romance believable. The story fares better when it focuses on the crystal and its connections to secret societies, to the Midnight Monster (a hackneyed serial killer) and to Leona's personal history. When the plot threads finally pull taut and the villains' motives and schemes are completely (if clumsily) exposed, Leona is endangered in a suspenseful climax. This is unlikely to garner Quick any new fans, or even delight her devotees, but it will tide them over until the next episode.
