Description
Life changes once again for British spy Miss Mary Bennet when Napoleon Bonaparte escapes from the Isle of Elba. Mary quickly departs England for Brussels, the city where the Allied forces prepare for war against the French. But shortly after her arrival, one of the Duke of Wellington’s best officers is murdered, an event that threatens to break the delicate alliance between the Allies.
Investigating the murder forces Mary into precarious levels of espionage, role-playing, and deception with her new partner, Mr. Withrow—the nephew and heir of her prominent sponsor and the spy with whom she’s often at odds. Together, they court danger and discovery as they play dual roles in gathering intelligence for the British. But soon Mary realizes that her growing feelings toward Mr. Withrow put her heart in as much danger as her life. And then there’s another murder.
Mary will need to unmask the murderer before more people are killed, but can she do so and remain hidden in the background?

Great narration, okay story
While I enjoyed the narrator and I love the setting of the events surrounding the Battle of Waterloo (and the Duke of Wellington), this just wasn't quite as good as I was hoping it would be.
Too much romance and kissing, too many internal thoughts of Mary that were circular, repetitive, and boring, and I guessed who the murderer was right away (too predictable). Also, for someone who was very religious (Mary), she doesn't think about religion very much at all and seems to care more about what people and society think rather than what God would think.
I love the idea of Mary Bennet as a spy, although I will say that she changed so much in 3 books that I hardly recognized her anymore and she just seemed to be a character of the author's creation rather than Jane Austen's.
I like that the romance got mostly resolved in the end, but I was hoping for more books from this author!
