Victoria Alexander: My wicked little lies

Victoria Alexanderin historiallinen viihderomaani leikittelee vakoilujännärien lajityypillä, mutta lopputulos on melkoisen torso: My wicked little lies (Zebra Books, 2012; ISBN 978-1-4201-1706-6).



Päähenkilöinä on aviopari joka ei tiedä siitä että kumpikin oli ennen avioitumistaan salaisia agentteja valtion palveluksessa. Hmmm...



Evelyn Hadley-Attwater has it all - a genteel Victorian life replete with loving husband, ball gowns and elegant parties. She was once "Eve," a spy for England's most enigmatic intelligence agency. Summoned for one final assignment, the excitement of her former life and memories of her mysterious, flirtatious boss "Sir" prove too tempting.

Adrian Hadley-Attwater is a respectable, dignified gentleman. But even the most proper gentlemen have secrets of their own. Secrets from the rest of the world, from their families, from their wives. Secrets that have a price. Now, as a veil of secrecy frays, a tantalizing game of cat and mouse will test the bounds of unfailing love.
