Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick comes a delightful romp filled with breathtaking suspense, dazzling wit, and steamy Victorian passion . . .

The first kiss occurred in a dimly lit hallway on the upper floor of Elwin Hastings's grand house. Louisa Bryce never saw it coming. Of course, handsome, wealthy Anthony Stalbridge couldn't possibly have had romantic intentions. The kiss was merely meant to distract the armed guard about to catch the two unlikely sleuths. After all, the only thing these two interlopers have in common is a passionate interest in uncovering the dastardly secrets of Mr. Hastings—a prominent member of society whom they suspect of murder.

Brought together by their desire for the truth, Anthony and Louisa finally discover the incriminating evidence they're looking for. But bringing Hastings to justice will be more perilous than they anticipate, especially since their thrilling attraction to danger—and, it turns out, to each other—might very well get in the way . . .

Goodreads review by Heidi on March 03, 2024

What's not to love about a mystery set in London during the 1800s with a bespectacled book loving heroine and a dashing hero, served with a side of sizzle? Another escapist read from Ms. Quick... A fun break for a stressed out reader from the 21st century! (Reviewed 4-19-12)......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on December 04, 2014

This was a fun story and I liked it, but without anything truly outstanding to raise it above the average. I liked Louisa. A lot. But Anthony was kind of Victorian standard—capable, worldly, rich, and prone to falling in love with strange, bookish women. There were a few laugh-out-loud moments (I've......more

Goodreads review by Nabilah on January 03, 2022

3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars. A classic Quick novel. Great writing and the plot's good enough. The MCs don't really stand out though and that's a pity. The reason the book isn't a solid 4 stars is because I feel that the mystery takes centre stage compared to the romance between the MCs. Overall,......more
