The new mystery set in Victorian England from the
author of THE VANISHING THIEF... Who would suspect antiquarian bookseller Georgia
Fenchurch of leading a double life—as a private investigator
for the clandestine Archivist Society in Victorian London?
When England’s national security is compromised, Georgia
must pose as a titled lady to root out a spy… A cousin of Georgia’s dear friend, Lady Phyllida Monthalf,
is brutally murdered in her home during the theft of
blueprints of a new battleship designed by her husband—who
now stands accused of her murder…and treason. The Duke of
Blackford, in service to Whitehall, enlists Georgia and the
Archivist Society to assist in the investigation. Playing
the part of the duke’s new paramour, Georgia gains entry
into the upper echelons of London’s elite, where amidst
elegant dinners and elaborate parties a master spy schemes
to lay hands on the stolen plans. The duke is no stranger to the world of international
espionage, but Georgia is out of her element in more ways
than one. She must not allow her genuine attraction to the
duke—or her obsession with finding her parents’ killer—to
distract her from her role. But when a mysterious stranger
threatens to expose her, the counterfeit lady may be in real
trouble…

Re: The Counterfeit Lady
This sounds like a wonderful read, and will be the perfect
way to end the Summer, or start my Fall reading!! I love to
read about the British, and you have a terrific story line
in your book!! All of the elements are there. The simple
life, as well as the upper crust, and I can't wait to find
out how you put all the elements together!! Congratulations
on your book, and I'm sure it's going to do well!!

I like reading about bookstores and delving into them to find
finds. Back then, there weren't many occupations open to
women, so a bookstore owner as a woman was rare.
