RRP said A tough slog.. **one important spoiler if you are reading them in order***I remember this one as being a pretty tough slog. Pitt spent much of his time separated from Charlotte, in Europe, dealing with a colleague who is a traitor, if memory serves. Very uninteresting. I skipped through all of that to get to the Narraway/Charlotte half of the book. It was better, but only marginally. I was uncomfortable with their travelling together and of his crush on Charlo. Always Intriguing with Thomas and Charlotte Pitt, but this was one of my favorites Deborah A. Bowman, author Any serial epic that has 30-something books has to be especially strong, well-written, and have characters that we think of as dear friends, as we fear for their lives and anticipate their future.

Seems too wordy, subjects have gotten harder to believe, has she lot her drive, imagination what? This book was boring for the first 80% of it, slow to start and fell flat half way through. If it wasn't for the first chapter of the next book at the end, totally unfulfilling. Is it time for Charlotte and Thomas Pitt to ride off to the country. books.

But unknown to Pitt and Narraway, a shadowy plotter is setting a trap that, once sprung, could destroy not just reputations but the British empire itself.. Meanwhile, Pitt’s supervisor, the formidable Victor Narraway, finds himself accused of embezzling government funds. With Pitt incommunicado in France, Narraway turns to Pitt’s clever wife, Charlotte, for help. As the mortally wounded man’s life slips away, so too does the information Pitt desperately needs. The man who lies bleeding to death in a London brickyard is no ordinary drifter but a secret informant prepared to divulge details of a potentially devastating international plot against the British government.
