Collis Tremayne and Rose Lacey have been playing a game of cat-and-mouse since joining the training school for the Liar's Club, one of His Majesty's spy agencies. But when one of their sparring matches does the school damage, their superiors decide to give them a test mission to see if they're really spy material. Rose fails the test but puts them on the right track for a much more important, and more dangerous intrigue unfolding in London. Collis and Rose are a likable pair, and the fourth book in Bradley's popular Liar's Club series (The Pretender, 2003; The Imposter, 2003; and The Spy [BKL F 1 04])-- one that doesn't aim for historical accuracy (modern pop culture allusions creep in as humorous punch lines) but rather for amusing, romantic entertainment--proves to be full of adventure and sure to provide a pleasant few hours' diversion. (However, I don't like modern pop culture allusions in my historical romances!)
