A Scheming in Parliament

Erica Vetsch has done it again – what a great book. She’s an automatic buy for me, and she never disappoints. A Scheming in Parliament, book 2 in the Of Cloaks and Daggers series, will keep you turning pages.

So much scheming! From dastardly to delightful – so many schemes. Villainy had my heart beating fast, and the ingenuity of a plucky girl had me laughing out loud.
In both the Thorndike and Swann Mysteries and the Of Cloaks and Daggers series, well-crafted stories allow romance to bloom at an unhurried pace. Fans of Erica Vetsch have grown to appreciate Philippa Cashel’s beauty and strength of character. It’s time for her happily ever after! Bertie is her perfect match.

One of the things that sets a great book apart from a good book is its cast of supporting characters. Vetsch is a master at creating a community of compelling characters-some old friends, and some new faces. I loved catching up with familiar faces in the Haverly universe – especially Partridge. And Bertie’s new allies are intriguing – I hope we’ll see more of them in the next installment.
The ending is perfection. I can’t wait for the next book!
