A Pretty Deceit
by Anna Lee Huber
in the latest installment of the Verity Kent series, Verity and her husband, Sidney, are asked by her parents to go help her aunt. Her aunt's manor house in Wiltshire was used by the British Air Force during WWI for billeting soldiers. Her aunt is convinced that several objects are missing from the house due to the soldiers who were lodged there. There is also the matter of missing housemaid.
Verity Kent spent WWI in espionage. Even now as a member of high society in England, she continues to do a bit. She is also followed by a nemesis, Lord Ardmore. This part of the plot makes this series more exciting than a simple mystery. There is a couple of chase scenes in the book.
I would have liked to learn more about Sadie, their housekeeper and Nimble, Sidney's valet but that will have to wait until the next book! I highly recommend this series to lovers of historical mysteries. I do think that you should read at least one of the previous books in the series before starting here. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the free Advanced Reader's Copy.
