  “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.

Felicity Vane may be a mathematical genius, but getting her family

to understand her academic ambition is proving difficult. As

her first social season is fast approaching, it might be time to

take matters into her own hands.

Infiltrating the glamorous world of The Lucky Penny and winning her

university fees over a game of cards could be the perfect plan.

if only it weren't for the interference of Ash, the piratical and

frustratingly handsome owner who accuses her of cheating.

Now, Felicity finds herself thrown into the latest investigation

of the Aviary - a fearless, covert group of female investigators

- and caught up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the worst

villain they have faced yet.

When the stakes are this high Felicity can't afford to lose, but

as she and Ash get drawn deeper into a world of criminal conspiracies

is she also gambling with her heart?

'Incredibly charming'

Sophie Irwin, author of A Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting
