How do I put into words how much I love this book? Jen Turano is completely amazing! I know the moment I pick up one of her books that I’m not going to be able to think about much else. To Write a Wrong was one of my favorites to date! Daphne is a perfect combination of amazingly brilliant and interestingly flawed. I mean the girl faints at the most inopportune times. And instead of driving me crazy, it often makes me laugh out loud and love her all the more. I first met Daphne in the first book of the Bleeker Street Inquiry Agency novels, To Steal a Heart. If you have not read that book, I suggest you get it asap. That being said, I’m sure you would enjoy this book as a stand alone as well. You would just be missing out on more of the Bleeker Street Agency’s greatness. Can you tell I am dying for the third installment to come out? Anyway, back to this amazing book. Turano took me by complete surprise and there were so many unexpected twist and turns. I enjoyed every moment I spent reading this story. Herman was the perfect match to Daphne, and obviously needed a little adventure in his life. Their chemistry was one of a kind, and I loved watching them get to know each other. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Historical Romance with the perfect amount of mystery mixed in. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers and was in no way forced to post a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.
Super Story!

“She was always doing the unexpected, and he couldn’t deny that he found unpredictability to be one the things he enjoyed most about her. “ To Write a Wrong by Jen Turano is a fun-loving mystery with plenty of Jen Turano’s wonderful humor and sweet romance. Daphne, our heroine, is absolutely adorable and probably one of my favorite characters from Jen Turano’s books to date. She is witty and had depth that I appreciated as I read the story. Herman, our hero, is all that a hero should be and I enjoyed the banter between him and Daphne. Since they are both writers there were many great jokes about writers that really added to the story. It was fun to leave New York for a bit and visit Boston and meet Daphne’s family. The meeting with Daphne’s publisher had me laughing out loud and is worth reading the book for that alone! Jen Turano is able to weave in a deeper story line through humor and talk about real issues facing women then and now. Jen Turano has once again written a humorous Gilded Age story with laugh out loud scenes, relatable characters, and themes that touched my heart. A fabulous read! I was given a copy by NetGalley and the publisher and not required to write a positive review.

To Write a Wrong by Jen Turano is the second book in her Bleeker Street Inquiry Agency series. Daphne Beekman is an inquiry agent. She also writes mystery stories under an assumed name. When she takes on the attempted murder of fellow author Herman Henderson, she becomes a target too. You know when you pick up a Jen Turano book that you’re going to meet some quirky characters. Daphne is no exception! But the awesome thing is, Herman doesn’t care how different she is, he see’s the person underneath. There were plenty of suspects in the story. You never knew who to trust. I thought the ending was a little rushed. But overall a cute story. I received this book from the author for my honest review.
A witty historical tale!

To Write a Wrong by Jen Turano is the 2nd tale in The Bleeker Street Inquiry Agency series. I suggest reading To Steal a Heart before beginning To Write a Wrong (you will not regret it). Miss Daphne Beekman is an author as well as an agent with the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency. Daphne is an unusual woman for her time period. She is spirited, creative, clever, clumsy, and loyal with a tendency to swoon. Daphne carries a large handbag that holds a multitude of items that tend to come in handy including a pistol. Mr. Herman Henderson comes to the agency late on a Friday night to engage their services. Herman is a published author who is actually Daphne’s competitor. Herman has had four attempts on his life, and he wishes to hire the agency to find out who is behind the attempts. This is the beginning of a humorous, boisterous adventure. I always look forward to Jen Turano’s book because I can count of them to make me laugh. To Write a Wrong did not disappoint. I did find it a little bit of a slow starter. The first scene between Herman and Daphne seemed to go on too long (it felt a little off). I love that Daphne can hold her own. She might swoon on occasion (she is working on it), but Daphne is not a woman to back down. There is a scene with Daphne at her publishers in Boston that shows off her strengths. I could envision the scene and the faces of the men in the room which had me chuckling (the thought of that scene still makes me laugh). To Write a Wrong is a busy book. I liked all the activity and quirky characters. Romance abounds with the ladies as they meet some new gentlemen. Some things never change. Issues women faced then are some of the same problems women face now. The author brought 1887 New York and Boston to life with her vivid writing. To Write a Wrong is a multifaceted, historical novel that is a delight to read. To Write a Wrong is droll historical tale with matchmaking grandmama’s, a pilfering parrot, a concerned cousin, protective relatives, writing woes, and a not so secret non de plume.
Banter! Adventure! Murder?

Book 2 of The Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency was absolutely worth waiting for and filled with wonderful banter. I just could not get enough of Miss Daphne Beekman. I adored the way her mind worked even if I have no idea how her mind works! LOL Daphne is a writer that publishes under the name Montague Moreland. And she is under contract to never disclose that she, a female, writes these well loved mystery novels. By night she writes under the name Montague Moreland but during the day she is an agent with The Bleeker Street Inquiry Agency. As an Inquiry Agent she uses her knack for deducing things to help with cases and is generally not in the field. That all changes when Mr. Herman Henderson, another mystery writer and Daphne's biggest competitor, hires Bleecker Street to solve the most intriguing case. Jen Turano, once again, had me laughing at the antics of the characters and the situations they find themselves in. While I did laugh and absolutely love the humor and lighter aspects of this book it also touched on deeper topics such as the rights of women. Also, a theme of being strong, courageous in who you are, and praying through that, is seen throughout the book. I absolutely enjoyed every moment of this book and would highly recommend it. I was given a copy of this book by Bethany House for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review but how could I not? Can not wait for book 3 to be released.
