India Black: A Madam of Espionage Mystery by Carol K. Carr (ARC). In the winter of 1876, the beautiful young madam India Black is occupied with her usual tasks--keeping her tarts in line, avoiding the police, and tolerating the clergyman bent on converting her girls. But when Sir Archibald Latham of the War Office dies from a heart attack while visiting her brothel, India is unexpectedly thrust into a deadly game between Russian and British agents who are seeking the military secrets Latham carried.

I preparation for going to a Revels performance, I'm reading Thomas Hardy's Under the Greenwood Tree. It has a lovely Christmas scene in it!
ReplyDeleteA lot of people seem to be reading "Miss Hildreth" right now. Sounds like a fun book. And the Charlotte MacLeod books are the perfect thing to be reading at this time of year! I might have to give them a try.
ReplyDeleteYou are really into the holiday books, great stuff.

I'm reading Emma, by Jane Austen. I'm also doing my best to restrain myself from opening my gift, Santa! Thank you so much, I was having a crappy day and it definitely brightened things up!
ReplyDeleteI also got Miss Hildreth this week...I'm excited to begin reading it, but that'll probably be next week.
