Happy Friday! Today I am featuring the final (boo hoo) book in the Freddie and Grace Mystery series by Pepper Basham. I am both excited and reluctant to read The Bachelor Spy. The series is so great, but I’m not sure I can bear not having a new book to look forward to. It’s a conundrum that only readers will understand. I have a lot of reading to do before I can begin this book, so I have a bit of time to savor the anticipation. LOL!
Here’s the first line:
Stephen Blake had been trailing the presumed spy most of the voyage — first to secure his target, and then . . . to strike.
Spies Infiltrate Havensbooke Hall. . .and Another Mystery Adventure Begins
Stephen Blake’s life goal is to protect people, especially those closest to him, but war in 1914 England doesn’t follow any rules. When Blake is informed that a noted German spy may have taken up residence at Havensbrooke Hall—his cousin Lord Astley’s estate, which is being used as a convalescent war hospital—he’s sent there to uncover the plot.
Lady Grace Astley has become a force to be reckoned with while Frederick is out on the war front. With Havensbrooke as a hospital, she’s shocked by the devastation the war is bringing home; but ever hopeful, she is determined to help these weary soldiers find some relief. However, not everything is as it seems inside Havensbrooke. Precious items soon start disappearing . . . and not just the kind that are worth a lot of money.
Through a case of mistaken identity, a comedy of errors, a kidnapping, and a race for time within the crumbling subterranean passageways beneath Havensbrooke, can Blake and Gracie work together to root out the criminals, thieves, and spies before time runs out?
