The True Confessions of a London Spy (The Secret Life of Mary Bennet #2) by Katherine Cowley

 

What is your favorite book series?

The True Confessions of a London Spy is the second book in The Secret Life of Mary Bennet series.  It was an enjoyable addition to the series. 

Mary Bennet is working undercover in London for the season to help to track down a murderer.  She is staying with her sister Elizabeth and her husband Mr. Darcy.  Her sister Kitty and Mr. Darcy’s sister Georgiana are also staying with them in town so they can all enjoy the season together.  Will Mary be able to solve the murder mystery and how can she do it without arising the suspicions of Mr. Darcy?

I love Mary’s continued growth as a character in this novel.  I especially enjoyed her developing her relationship with her sister Kitty and making the realization that both she and Kitty were not treated the best in her family.  The Bennet family is a bit dysfunctional.  I also enjoyed that both Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy suspected something was up, but couldn’t quite put their finger on it.  Mary seems to keep growing in her self-confidence and I really liked how she helped Georgiana in this novel.  The mystery was agreeable, and I loved the London of 1814 setting.
