Oh, dear. Is that the Marquess of Ware enjoying a pipe in the very same upscale opium den as Verity Lark?
It is, yes.
Wonderful.
Now she must inform her suitor, Colson Hardwicke, of his father’s unsavory habit—which means she will have to reveal that she herself had been partaking in the very next berth.
He will understand.
Once she explains that the den is above the fish seller whose poppy trade she has been monitoring for months, he will totally get it. As London’s most intrepid reporter and dogged gossipmonger, she is duty bound to get to the bottom of the mystery.
What Hardwicke might find a little harder to accept is why she was kissing the marquess in a darkened room during a fashionable society affair.
That is a slightly more complicated story.
Alas, with a killer stalking her, she might not have a chance to tell it.
Early readers are enthralled by the latest Verity Lark Mystery:
"Lark’s Gambit is a funny Whodunnit that I highly recommend.
The books can be read standalone but you don't want to miss out on each unique and beautifully written story in this delightful Series."—Netgalley Review
"I am always happy to read one of Lynn Messina's books, Verity Lark or Beatrice Hyde-Clare. The writing is outstanding, the humor always lurking, and the mystery always . . . well, mysterious." —Netgalley Review
"A Lark’s Gambit is not the kind of book you can skim—and that’s a good thing. Lynn Messina has crafted another clever mystery that pulls you in and makes you pay attention to every little detail." —Netgalley Review
"Just when I thought the Beaverse could not leave me speechless anymore, Lynn Messina does it again and writes this momentous book in the Verity Lark series. We have the mystery, the amazing banter, the killer and the witty dialogues that always make me laugh out loud." —Netgalley Review
"In what has to be the funniest, most outrageous opening scene since Beatrice Hyde-Clare caught her husband embracing his former mistress in the front hall*, the sixth Verity Lark book bursts out of the gate..." —Netgalley Review
