    About this ebook

    British spies Malcolm and Suzanne Rannoch investigate a murder in Brussels amid a whirlwind of war and revelry in this “superb” Regency-era mystery (Historical Novel Society).
     
    Removed to glamorous Brussels in the wake of Napoleon’s escape from Elba, intelligence agent Malcolm Rannoch and his wife, Suzanne, warily partake in the country’s pleasures—lush, bucolic afternoons followed by nights filled with lavish balls. But with the Congress of Vienna in chaos and the Duke of Wellington preparing for battle, the festivities are cut short when Malcolm is sent on a perilous mission that unravels a murderous world of espionage.
     
    No one knows what the demure and respectable Lady Julia Ashton was doing at the château where Malcolm and a fellow British spy were ambushed. But now her enigmatic life has been ended by an equally mysterious death. And as the conflict with Napoleon marches toward Waterloo, and Brussels surrenders to bedlam, Suzanne and Malcolm will be plunged into the search for the truth—revealing an intricate labyrinth of sinister secrets and betrayal in which no one can be trusted . . .

      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.
    • 4/5
      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.
