Summary

Charlotte, now the Countess of Wrexford, would like nothing more than a summer of peace and quiet with her new husband and their unconventional family and friends. Still, some social obligations must be honored, especially with the grand Peace Celebrations unfolding throughout London to honor victory over Napoleon.

But when Wrexford and their two young wards, Raven and Hawk, discover a body floating in Hyde Park's famous lake, that newfound peace looks to be at risk. The late Jeremiah Willis was the engineering genius behind a new design for a top-secret weapon, and the prototype is missing from the Royal Armory's laboratory. Wrexford is tasked with retrieving it before it falls into the wrong hands. But there are unsettling complications to the case—including a family connection.

Soon, old secrets are tangling with new betrayals, and as Charlotte and Wrexford spin through a web of international intrigue and sumptuous parties, they must race against time to save their loved ones from harm—and keep the weapon from igniting a new war . . .

The plot

Great story! Interesting new characters.

Problems: 1. Information dumping is blatant and not really credible at times - people just don’t speak that way!
2. Use of strange out of place language. People didn’t say ‘heading to’ and ‘gotten’ so that’s a silly mistake that’s continually repeated and suggests the writer and editor are lazy or ignorant.
3. The reader uses the same portentous delivery for both the main characters and it just comes across as weird! If people constantly spoke as though they were addressing a captive audience like these two do, in reality their companions would interrupt them or be annoyed with them and they wouldn’t have any friends, never mind devoted and obedient gophers like the motley crew they’ve acquired in these stories!

I’ll still be getting the next book though because the stories are fun 😁
