The second in a historical mystery series that I‘m so happy I discovered! The first book introduces us to Lizzie Hardwicke, born a gentlewoman who winds up ruined and exiled from her home and makes her way in a brothel. This is her second adventure helping out Bow Street runner Davenport, and she finds herself undercover as a spy in the Theatre Royal at Drury Lane.
I love that we get to see more of Lizzie working on her own in this one. 🔽
robinb She‘s gaining confidence in her abilities and her intelligence and observations are a pleasure to watch. Her relationship with Davenport is also deepening and becoming more complicated. This is well-written, well-researched and well done. And I hope Lizzie will have many more adventures ahead of her...I‘ll be reading! 4.5/5⭐️ (Tagging first in series.)
