reviewed on + 988 more book reviews


The impeccable Miss Melville returns in a scintillating adventure that tops all her previous forays. Enjoying a total immersion in her artistic career, Miss Melville is between jobs, doing what society women do, charitably supporting the Rundle Home for Wayward Girls---and resisting an invitation from the government to assassinate the power-hungry Begum of Gandistan, a ruthless woman whose son has just ascended to the throne following the unfortunate deaths of his father and all of his siblings.
