About this listen
Quitting her husband's house and moving back in with her horrible family, Lady Maccon becomes the scandal of the London season.
Queen Victoria dismisses her from the Shadow Council, and the only person who can explain anything, Lord Akeldama, unexpectedly leaves town. To top it all off, Alexia is attacked by homicidal mechanical ladybugs, indicating, as only ladybugs can, the fact that all of London's vampires are now very much interested in seeing Alexia quite thoroughly dead.
While Lord Maccon elects to get progressively more inebriated and Professor Lyall desperately tries to hold the Woolsey werewolf pack together, Alexia flees England for Italy in search of the mysterious Templars. Only they know enough about the preternatural to explain her increasingly inconvenient condition, but they may be worse than the vampires - and they're armed with pesto.
Blameless is the third book of the Parasol Protectorate series: a comedy of manners set in Victorian London, full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea drinking.

When she stumbles upon a diary that suggests she's descended from magicians, she's skeptical. After all, magicians are special, and she's just an ordinary woman who loves books. She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

The shape-shifting element in werewolves' stories has almost humanized them, depicting the internal struggles we all face within ourselves, on some level or another.

Story
In the sleepy Bavarian town of Gesternstadt, gossip was viewed by many as a local sport, a popular hobby, a harmless pastime that showed only the depth and enduring nature of the interest of one neighbour for another. In Gretel’s opinion, however, tittle-tattle sowed the seeds of malice among the fertile soil of jealousy, often watered by the tears of its victims. So it was that upon hearing from brother Hans of the whispers concerning a young woman, a married man and a thwarted lover, Gretel is compelled to rise from her beloved day bed to set things to rights.

Scotland, 1812. He's ferocious and rugged to the bone, an English soldier more at home on the battlefield than in any society drawing room. And when Major Gabriel Forrester learns that he has inherited the massive Scottish Highlands title and estate of a distant relation, the last thing he wants to do is give up the intensity of the battlefield for the too-soft indulgences of noble life. But Gabriel Forrester does not shirk his responsibilities, and when he meets striking, raven-eyed lass Fiona Blackstock, his new circumstances abruptly become more intriguing.

An Endlessly Entertaining Writer
I think very few authors are so whimsical, so literary, and writes with such quality. If you wanted a novel of manners that is fun and well written, this is for you. Emily Gray is a fantastic reader. I would highly recommend this novel, or any other in the series.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed most of this book as it took place racing across France and then dealing with the Templars in Italy. However, I did not like the way Lord Maccon behaved and the way it basically obliterated Alexia’s work and personal life. The groveling from the man was nowhere near sufficient. But the adventure part was fun and the audiobook narration was good, so I can recommend “Blameless” overall. I am continuing the series with the hope that the next book is better.

Delightful!
There are so many characters that I get confused and back up the story to replay. But the story and characters are absolutely wonderful. The humor reminds me of British comedies I grew up with. I love everything about this story.

The saga continues
I will be sad when this series comes to an end....they are becoming old friends. This is kinda a bridge book, one that moves you along the story line. Not a whole lot of action/interaction, but one in which the minor characters,that we met before, take on a bit more depth. Predictable but fun....looking forward to number 4.

I greatly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. as with the previous two in the series, the narrator has done a fantastic job with keeping each of the characters' voices seperate and distinct, allowing the listener to simply sit back and enjoy the story without confusion or difficulty.
The story itself was well told & entertaining, with quite a few moments that made me either want to laugh at the actions taking place, or scold the characters for those same actions.
All in all, I foubd this to be avery enjoyable audiobook & look forward to listening tp the next one in the series.

Another great story!
I was waiting to find out what happened with the loving couple that had been pulled apart, and Gail didn't disappoint! This book again struck a great balance in action, intrigue, and a British posh attitude. If you like the first two, you will love this one!
