Description
Queen Victoria has a little problem: there’s a petty thief at work in Buckingham Palace. Charged with discretion, the Agency puts quickwitted Mary Quinn on the case, where she must pose as a domestic while fending off the attentions of a feckless Prince of Wales. But when the prince witnesses the murder of one of his friends in an opium den, the potential for scandal looms large. And Mary faces an even more unsettling possibility: the accused killer, a Chinese sailor imprisoned in the Tower of London, shares a name with her long-lost father. Meanwhile, engineer James Easton, Mary’s onetime paramour, is at work shoring up the sewers beneath the palace, where an unexpected tunnel seems to be very much in use. Can Mary and James trust each other (and put their simmering feelings aside) long enough to solve the mystery and protect the Royal Family? Hoist on your waders for Mary’s most personal case yet, where the stakes couldn’t be higher — and she has everything to lose.

I read all the three books and loved the first two. This one is a bit disappointing. The three "crime scenes" aren't filled enough with life and an actual story, or mystery as in the other books. Queen Victoria wasn't characterized correctly. And the end was full of dull "oh, do you really love me with all my past problems and secrets and stuff" and urgh. Come on. Mary is a badass, and not so whiny. Don't misunderstand me. I love James x Mary and all that stuff, but that was too much.
