    About this ebook

    As two countries prepare for war, the whirl of revelry hides unimaginable deceit.
    Nights waltzing at candlelit balls…champagne-filled picnics on golden afternoons…When Napoleon's escape from Elba puts the Congress of Vienna into chaos, Intelligence Agent Malcolm Rannoch and his wife, Suzanne, remove to Brussels where the Duke of Wellington is preparing for battle. They find the city, on the verge of war, seemingly bent on pleasure. But one night Malcolm slips away from one of the endless round of lavish balls to meet with a fellow spy. Gunfire interrupts their meeting and claims an unexpected victim.
    No one knows what Lady Julia Ashton, the demure wife of a British officer, was doing at the château where Malcolm and his fellow British spy are ambushed. But now her enigmatic life has ended in an equally mysterious death.
    As the conflict with Napoleon marches toward Waterloo, and Brussels surrenders to bedlam, Suzanne and Malcolm search for the truth. The secrets behind Lady Julia's life and death lead them into an intricate labyrinth of secrets and betrayals in which no one can be trusted…not even a spouse.
    "A brilliantly multilayered mystery and a must-read for fans of the Regency era." --Publishers Weekly

      MAY we play a word-association game? I say ‘Lincolnshire’ and you reply... Yes, you might struggle to find anything to say about the ancient shire of that name. Perhaps ‘cathedral’ and ‘cabbages’ will float up through the mist of memory. I doubt many

      The Rannoch's are back with a bit of mystery & romance in this fifth installment to the series. I liked this one as quite a lot. And unlike the last book, I did not have the culprit figured out this time, so it was even more fun to follow through to the reveal. As historical mysteries go, I have to say that what I've read is very good. Also, there's a healthy dose of society glitter to sate that particular penchant I have for gowns, balls, gossip & courtish intrigue. I probably will continue with the series but I probably will not be going to the beginning of the series straight away because I have other things in my to be read pile. That's no slight to Ms. Grant & only my need to mix it up as I read.

      really love this story of characters Suzanne and malcolm. they parallel but arent quite Melanie and Charles of Daughter of the Game/ Secrets of a Lady,which I consider one of the best books I have ever read.
