Summary

In a beautiful Belgravia house, Dowager Countess Georgiana intends to celebrate her son's birthday—delightful festivities are planned. Lord Stokely has a different agenda for the occasion, one concerning governance, politics, and the seizing of power. Burgoyne's Agency has yet a third and very dangerous design for the evening—the toppling of Britain's foremost charismatic personality and most photogenic peer—Stokely.

Outside of Belgravia, Britain is in a turbulent state. Confidence in the government is shaken, hidden forces are undermining the peace established after the Great War, and the fear of anarchy is entering British homes.

The game begins for the intrepid secret agency, and it only grows more hazardous—until it becomes a question of survival for Sophie and her friends. The perils of the investigation are magnified as their enemies multiply around them.

“Unexpected” in that I thought I knew how the story would unfurl, however this, for me, was a different take on the “cozy, period mystery” that I very much enjoyed. I took to the main characters immediately and appreciated how they were written - very human and individual, believable. Some lovely little foibles and lots of warmth and humour. The supporting cast, protagonists, out and out baddies, were all well rounded, well thought through characters, many of whom it was a pleasure to loathe! I’ve just finished book 4 of 4 and hope the author is making speedy progress with subsequent novels in this series. Excellent stories, well written and well told. The narrator is excellent and each character is discernible. I feel she may sometimes “miss the joke” as she doesn’t always deliver funny lines with the humour I think is intended by the author; and she doesn’t always put the emphasis on the correct part of the description or dialogue. These are small constructive criticisms, and only noteworthy in comparison to the otherwise excellent performance. I’m looking forward to listening to more in this series, which has certainly captured my imagination.

Unexpectedly Excellent Series
