Summary

“THE AGENCY FOR SCANDAL is glorious! Clever, funny, charming, and achingly romantic, it is a delight from start to finish. Laura Wood always writes about love and friendship with a deft hand, and this is her best work yet” Katherine Webber, author of Twin Crowns

An all-female detective agency righting wrongs at the end of the nineteenth century; infiltrating a scandalous upper class world straight out of Bridgerton and using their wit and bravery to unmask a villain.

Eighteen-year-old Isobel Stanhope is keeping a lot of secrets. There's the fact that she's head over heels in love with a Duke who doesn't know she exists; there's the fact that her family is penniless but nobody in society knows about it; and then there's her job at the Aviary, an investigative agency run by women that specializes in digging up scandal on powerful men.

When Izzy finds herself pulled into a case that involves gaslighting, blackmail, and missing jewels, as well as the Duke who holds her heart, can she and her friends untangle the web of secrets and lies to uncover the truth and protect the innocent? And when the stakes are so high, what happens when the crush she's been hiding begins to turn into so much more?

"Incredibly charming" SOPHIE IRWIN, author of A Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting

Bridgerton meets Charlie's Angels—the most romantic, exciting, empowering YA of the year.

A smart, charming, brilliantly plotted and swooningly romantic story about a collective of bold women changing their world.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

Really wonderful book, lovely mix of intrigue, historical interest and gentle wit. Narrated beautifully, I was absorbed very quickly. Here’s hoping this will become a series!

Excellent Victorian caper

My daughter and I loved this story.
Strong female characters, griping storyline and tongue in cheek humour. Was a fun listen.
Well narrated.
If you like older child books such as the Taylor and Rose Mysteries or The Swifts, you’ll love this!
