Genre: Christian Historical Fiction
Publisher: Bethany House

After five unsuccessful Seasons on the marriage mart, Miss Adelaide Duveen has resigned herself to the notion that she's destined to remain a spinster forever--a rather dismal prospect, but one that will allow her to concentrate on her darling cats and books. However, when she inadvertently stumbles upon Mr. Gideon Abbott engaged in a clandestine activity during a dinner party, Adelaide finds herself thrust into a world of intrigue that resembles the plots in the spy novels she devours.
Former intelligence agent Gideon Abbott feels responsible for Adelaide after society threatens to banish her because of the distraction she caused to save his case. Hoping to return the favor, he turns to a good friend--and one of high society's leaders--to take Adelaide in hand and turn her fashionable.
When danger surrounds them and Adelaide finds herself a target of the criminals in Gideon's case, the spark of love between them threatens to be quenched for good--along with their lives.

My Thoughts:
Just when I think Jen Turano has written the funniest book, she writes another one.
The mixture of Adelaide needing to secure a husband or remain a spinster forever, along with questionable characters in this mystery, adds all kinds of hilarity that Jen Turano is known for. Reading and attempting to quietly giggle so as to not wake one's husband is a definite problem when one reads a Jen Turano book at night.
Witty conversations, and lengthy scenes because Adelaide does tend to prattle on a bit. But it seriously makes the book even more fun!
A Jen Turano novel is one that I gravitate to when I'm looking for something to lift my spirits and this book did not disappoint.
