Mary’s second adventure as an undercover agent forces her to relive some harrowing childhood experiences as she seeks the identity of a murderer.Mary Quinn is back, now a trusted member of the Agency, the all-female detective unit operating out of Miss Scrimshaw’s Academy for Girls. Her new assignment sends her into the grimy underbelly of Victorian London dressed as a poor boy, evoking her own childhood memories of fear, hunger, and constant want. As she insinuates herself into the confidence of several persons of interest, she encounters others in desperate situations and struggles to make a difference without exposing —or losing —her identity. Mary’s adventure, which takes place on the building site of the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament, offers a fictional window into a fascinating historical time and place.
I look forward to reading the first book in this series, although not having read it did not detract from reading book 2.This is a clever twist on private investigation agencies, both because it is all women and because of the restraints of the time period.The puzzle is interesting, the plot sufficiently complex, the characters well developed, and the bit of romance just the right amount to not get in the story's way.All in all, a good read.Now I'm off to A Spy in the House book 1
