As a member of King & Co., London’s most successful private investigation firm, Eleanor Law delights in proving that women can solve crimes just as well as men. When a con man pretends to be her fictional boss, "Charles King," Ellie knows he’s lying, but accepting the scoundrel’s offer of help might be the key to cracking her new case. “Henri Bonheur”, or “Harry”, claims his criminal past is behind him, but a man who steals and seduces with ease can never be trusted. As the investigation intensifies, Ellie’s infuriated to realize she’s falling for her law-breaking accomplice. How can she love the scoundrel when she doesn’t even know his real name? And what will happen when Harry’s past finally catches up with him?
This historical romance grabbed me from page one and didn't let me go until I had finished the entire story. It was a quick read filled with passion, intrigue and suspense with characters that I want to see again. I liked how these independent women were passionate about solving mysteries and writing wrongs in an era where, in reality, women weren't respected enough. I can't wait to read the rest of this series. Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my honest opinion.
