There is clearly this romantic tension between Wrexford and Charlotte Sloane, but it doesn’t overtake the prime focus of the books which is the murder mystery.

Murder at Kensington Palace (Wrexford and Sloane Mysteries)

I wish I liked this series more than I do. The mysteries are always multi-layered and interesting, if sometimes overwrought, but the characters aren't great. They are prone to apprehension and constant questioning of their lives and choices. Charlotte is staid and coldly logical until she's not all of a sudden. She'll do nothing terribly foolish until the end of the book for drama. Wrexford loses his temper way too easily. He's supposedly an intelligent man of science but he often jumps to conclusions. His misanthropic attitude is grating. They both also spend too much time philosophizing. Their maybe-romance is so awkward and unbelievable it's actually occasionally painful to read.In 2016, Worsley presented the three-part documentary Empire of the Tsars: Romanov Russia with Lucy Worsley in January and Lucy Worsley: Mozart's London Odyssey in June. [17] In September 2016, she was filming an upcoming series A Very British History for BBC Four.

In 2017, she presented a three-part series entitled British History's Biggest Fibs with Lucy Worsley, debunking historical views of the Wars of the Roses, the Glorious Revolution and the British occupation of India. [19] I did find the prologue a little hard to follow and was initially concerned it’s (to me) slowness would be continued in the book itself. This was not the case and the prologue did serve to introduce some key characters and happenings. Once the book began in earnest, it moved at an excellent pace and engaged me all the way through.

For legal reasons, the jury was not told that George has spent convictions for attempted rape and indecent assault.

Review: Murder at Kensington Palace by Andrea Penrose

Because of that I think it makes the romance so much more sweet. The little morsels of romance sprinkled in make the reader eager to see what happens between them, but ultimately it’s the well written mystery that holds their attention late into the night.
