'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'
