“The Agency for Scandal is glorious!
Clever, funny, charming, and achingly romantic, it is a delight
from start to finish. Laura Wood always writes about love and
friendship with a deft hand, and this is her best work yet”
Katherine Webber, author of Twin Crowns
An all-female detective agency righting wrongs at the
end of the nineteenth century; infiltrating a scandalous upper class
world straight out of Bridgerton and using their wit and bravery
to unmask a villain.
Eighteen-year-old Isobel Stanhope is keeping a lot of secrets.
There's the fact that she's head over heels in
love with a Duke who doesn't know she exists; there's
the fact that her family is penniless but nobody in society
knows about it; and then there's her job at the Aviary, an investigative
agency run by women that specializes in digging up scandal
on powerful men.
When Izzy finds herself
pulled into a case that involves gaslighting, blackmail, and
missing jewels, as well as the Duke who holds
her heart, can she and her friends untangle the web of secrets
and lies to uncover the truth and protect the innocent?
And when the stakes are so high, what happens when the crush
she's been hiding begins to turn into so much more?
