What is this book about?
When a man arrives at the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency, anxious to hire them to find a missing heiress, Eunice Holbrooke realizes her past has finally caught up with her . . . and that she may no longer be able to hide under the disguise that has kept her safe for so long.
Arthur Livingston’s goal in life is to make his mark on the world as a mining industrialist, but after the man who could help him achieve his goal is murdered, Arthur feels compelled to seek justice for the family–but he’s left with more questions than answers after the eccentric Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency refuses to take on his case.
Desperate to conceal her real identity and avoid the irritatingly handsome Arthur, Eunice takes on a different case that requires her to go deep undercover and entangles her in one troublesome situation after another. When other secrets come to light, Eunice has no choice but to confront her past, hopeful that it will set her free but knowing it could very well place her life–and the lives of those she loves–in jeopardy.
My review:
Humorous situations, that I’ve come to expect from this author, filled the pages of this latest adventure. I really enjoyed Eunice in the other books so reading her full story was a pleasure. Arthur was a great match for her.
Eunice was intelligent and daring. I loved her no-nonsense approach to life. She was also a romantic which you would think would be at odds with her personality, but it softened her just right.
Arthur was a true industrialist in attitude, but Eunice brought out the softer side of him. I found his loyalty very appealing.
The one thing I didn’t care for was that there was quite a bit of conversation that slowed the pace of the storyline down. But I did like the witty back and forth in the conversations.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
Eunice’s personality.
What I didn’t like about this book:
Some conversations slowing the pace of the story.
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. This had the authors trademark humorous situations and quirky characters. This is the third book in this series and it can be read as a standalone but would be better read in series order.
Note: I received this book complimentary as a member of the author’s launch team. I was not required to give a positive review. All of the opinions I have expressed here are honest and my own.
Where can I learn more about this author and their books?
