It can’t be any harder than navigating the London social season, can it?“Murder, Magic, and What We Wore blew my bonnet off. That way she can earn a living, maintain her social standing, and, in her spare time, follow the coded clues her father left behind and unmask his killer. Miss Annis Whitworth will appear to live a quiet life in a country cottage with her aunt, and Annis-in-disguise as Madame Martine, glamour artist, will open a magical dressmaking shop. And so she crafts a new double life for herself. Well, if the spies are too pigheaded to take on a young woman of quality, then Annis will take them on. Alas, it does not make sense to England’s current spymasters-not even when Annis reveals that she has the rare magical ability to sew glamours: garments that can disguise the wearer completely. Annis always suspected that her father was himself a spy, and following in his footsteps to unmask his killer makes perfect sense. And so, of course, she decides to become a spy. The year is 1818, the city is London, and 16-year-old Annis Whitworth has just learned that her father is dead and all his money is missing. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer’s Sorcery and Cecelia will adore this funny Regency-era mystery about a determined young woman with a magical trick up her sleeve.
