Synopsis (Amazon):
In Edwardian London, not all that glitters is
gold as a lady and an intelligence officer's secret mission take them
from the city's dazzling ballrooms to its covert intelligence offices.
Sir
Merritt Livingstone has spent a decade serving the monarch in the
field, but when pneumonia lands him behind a desk in the War Office
Intelligence Division just as they're creating a new secret intelligence
branch, he's intent on showing his worth. He suspects an aristocrat of
leaking information to Germany as tensions mount between the two
countries, but he needs someone to help him prove it, so he turns to The
Imposters, Ltd. No one knows who they are, but their results are beyond
compare.
Left
with an estate on the brink of bankruptcy after their father's death,
Lady Marigold Fairfax and her brother open a private investigation firm
for the elite to spy on the elite. Dubbed The Imposters, Ltd., their
anonymous group soon becomes the go-to for the crème of society who want
answers delivered surreptitiously. But the many secrets Marigold learns
about her peers pale in comparison to her shock when she and her
brother are hired to investigate her best friend's father as a potential
traitor.
Lady Marigold is determined to discover the truth for
her friend's sake, and she's more determined still to keep her heart
from getting involved with this enigmatic new client . . . who can't
possibly be as noble as he seems.
Love the idea of Marigold and her brother starting up a private investigation business. This sounds like a fun read.
ReplyDeleteLark, it was! I listened to it and the narrator did a great job as well.
