The Agency: The Body at the Tower
The Agency: The Body at the Tower | Y. S. Lee
Marys second adventure as an undercover agent forces her to relive some harrowing childhood experiences as she seeks the identity of a murderer. Mary Quinns new assignment sends her into the building site of the clock tower for the Houses of Parliament dressed as an impoverished young boy, evoking her own childhood memories of fear, hunger, and constant want. As she insinuates herself into the confidence of several persons of interest, she encounters others in desperate situations and struggles to make a difference without exposing or losing her identity. Marys second adventure offers a fictional window into the fascinating, if grimy, underbelly of Victorian London.

This is a very interesting series that I forgot about. It fit a prompt in a book challenge, so I was glad to be able to get back to it!!

It‘s finally warm enough and clear enough to put the padding back on the swing!

This was by far my favourite book in the series. I was able to get thoroughly engrossed in the plot and the characters this time, and the suspense was great. So like, if you kind of liked the first one but weren‘t sure about reading the rest, read AT LEAST this one too. Also James comes back and it is hilarious.

I love this series as it's just so enjoyable. It's about a female detective agency operating undercover in Victorian times. The orange and almond cake is from my mum and sister's tea room!

Laura317 Sounds yummy and the book does too! 7y
DeborahSmall In Italy you can buy an almond and orange pastry in bakeries, they are my favourite. Looks delicious 😍😍 7y
ScorpioBookDreams @DeborahSmall I bet they're absolutely delicious! 7y

My current listen has a magnificent #dressonthecover. Which is funny, because the main character spends most of the book disguised as a boy. #JanuaryReads

Abby-J BTW. This series is kind of great. They're quick reads. It's YA historical mystery/espionage with badass lady characters and a POC main character. (edited) 7y
MarriedtoMrT I loved the first one. It was a favorite the year it came out. Somehow, I never made it further than that one. 7y
