Going in to this book, I had been reading a lot of cozy mysteries, most of which were set in London or at the very least, in Britain. In Sebastian’s world of intrigue and espionage, nothing is as it seems, yet the truth may hold the key to the future of the British monarchy, as well as to Sebastian’s own salvation ( summary from Goodreads). In the process, he accumulates a band of unlikely allies, including the enigmatic beauty Kat Boleyn, who broke Sebastian’s heart years ago. Now a fugitive running for his life, Sebastian calls upon his skill as an agent during the war to catch the killer and prove his own innocence. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, a brilliant young nobleman shattered by his experience in the Napoleonic Wars. Then a beautiful young woman is found raped and savagely murdered on the altar steps of an ancient church near Westminster Abbey.Ī dueling pistol discovered at the scene and the damning testimony of a witness both point to one man, Sebastian St. It’s 1811, and the threat of revolution haunts the upper classes of King George III’s England. The book I am reviewing is the 12th book, so obviously there is a lot I will have missed, but I wanted to at least get to know the back story of the protagonist, Lord Devlin. Having not read this series before, I felt like it might be a good thing to start with the first book to at least get my barrings. Later this week I have another book in this series up for review.
