Gr 8 Up—The independent lady spy is back in the latest volume of the mystery series set in Victorian London. Laced with romance and intrigue, this title begins where the previous volume left off: Mary Quinn is debating whether she should marry love interest James Easton. The young woman also comes across more family secrets that cause her to question her loyalites. Lee's intricate details of Victorian life strike an easy balance with the cozy mystery elements that will keep fans coming for more.
In her fourth adventure, Mary's latest assignment from the
all-female detective Agency is to try to catch the fugitive Mrs.
Thorold (A Spy in the House). Mary and James are
contemplating marriage, but Mary is distracted by investigating her
own connection to a Chinese prizefighter who has just appeared in
London. Revelations about Mary's heritage add a unique twist to the
well-drawn Victorian setting.
