Miss Daphne Beekman is a mystery writer by day, inquiry agent by night.
Known for her ability to puzzle out plots, she prefers working behind
the scenes for the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency, staying well away
from danger. However, Daphne soon finds herself in the thick of an
attempted murder case she's determined to solve.
Mr. Herman
Henderson is also a mystery writer, but unlike the dashing heroes he
pens, he lives a quiet life, determined to avoid the fate of his
adventurous parents, who perished on an expedition when he was a child.
But when he experiences numerous attempts on his life, he seeks out the
services of the eccentric Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency to uncover the
culprit. All too soon, Herman finds himself stepping out of the safe
haven of his world and into an adventure he never imagined.
As
the list of suspects grows and sinister plots are directed Daphne's way
as well, Herman and Daphne must determine who they can trust and if they
can risk the greatest adventure of all: love.

My Review
First I loved the play on the title of this read, it really resonates
with the story. We are back with the Beeker Street Inquiry Agency, and
this story forcus is on Daphne Beekman, and this book can be read alone,
even though it is the second book in this great series!
As usual
this author has me laughing out loud, along with page-turning. We are
given some very real danger, along with some sweet romance! From readers
to writers, from rapiers to pistols, from hair pins to keys, we are on a
journey to find who wants Herman gone, and why?
You certainly won't be bored with this one, and be sure to read the epilogue!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
