A disastrous disguise. A brooding lord. And an island where the fruit wine flows freely…and so does the blood.
Lucy Anne Trotter is learning the art of spying under the exasperated eye of the Marquess of Lockwood. But when the Marquess slaps an unflattering wig on her head and tosses her onto a treacherous private island where the ton’s civility is as thin as a wafer, the fruit wine potent enough to fell a dowager, and a murderer looking for his next victim, her less‑than‑stellar training is put to the ultimate test.
Between sips of wine and strolls in the sea breeze, Lucy soon learns that matrimony and espionage are equally perilous pursuits. To survive, she must keep her wig from migrating into the punch, unmask a killer before the next corpse falls, and prevent her heart and her cover from being spectacularly blown.
A sparkling blend of humour, romance, and Regency-era mischief, this cosy mystery proves that even paradise can be perilous.
