The Lady's Guide to Death and Deception by Katherine Cowley
4.0
This is a wonderful Jane Austen cozy series. Although it's the third book, I easily read it as a standalone. Jane Austen's characters are reimagined in a clever way. Mary Bennett is a spy, helping Mr. Witherow gather intelligence after Napoleon escapes. Meanwhile, Lydia is married to Mr. Wickham and hiding a terrible secret. Can Mary help her? And how is Mary coping with her growing feelings for Mr. Witherow?
This is a compelling combination of thriller, romance, and family drama. Mary is a fantastic protagonist who can go undercover as a man one moment and fight off a wicked husband the next The attraction between Mary and Mr. Witherow is very well done and progresses naturally. Mary and Lydia's relationship as sisters is explored as well. The story is captivating, satisfying, and enjoyable, and Mary shines in her role of spy.. Fans of Jane Austen will delight in this new adventure with beloved characters.
