That way she can earn a living, maintain her social standing, and, in her spare time, follow the coded clues her father left behind and unmask his killer. Miss Annis Whitworth will appear to live a quiet life in a country cottage with her aunt, and Annis-in-disguise as Madame Martine, glamour artist, will open a magical dressmaking shop. And so she crafts a new double life for herself. Well, if the spies are too pigheaded to take on a young woman of quality, then Annis will take them on. Alas, it does not make sense to Englands current spymastersnot even when Annis reveals that she has the rare magical ability to sew glamours: garments that can disguise the wearer completely. Annis always suspected that her father was himself a spy, and following in his footsteps to unmask his killer makes perfect sense. And so, of course, she decides to become a spy. The year is 1818, the city is London, and 16-year-old Annis Whitworth has just learned that her father is dead and all his money is missing.
Wrede and Caroline Stevermers Sorcery and Cecelia will adore this funny Regency-era mystery about a determined young woman with a magical trick up her sleeve. Fans of Patrice Kindls Keeping the Castle or Patricia C.
