About this ebook

Lady Adelaide has had enough…


Lady Adelaide Azalea Margaret de Morville, Mrs. Hugh Becket, cannot sleep. After weeks of brooding about the severe drawbacks of her work for William Melville, spymaster, she travels through London at midnight to find Melville and tell him she will no longer work for him.


Instead, Adele finds herself in the company of Torin Slane, the Irish professor and Fenian, and Daniel Bannister, Baron Leighton, as they monitor the house of a possible German agent.


The company and conversation, and the events they witness in the house they are watching, prove illuminating for Adele and for Melville’s continuing search for a master German spy.


This novelette is the fifth in the Adelaide Becket Edwardian espionage series.

1: The Requisite Courage

2: The Rosewater Debutante

3: The Unaccompanied Widow

4: The Lavender Semaphore

5. The Broadcloth Midnight

Our heroine has more than shown her worth, but she still feels invisible to both employer and fellow spies. Well, enough is enough and she decides to speak up, but as usual, things don't go exactly as planned. Her mind is set, meanwhile, she once again shows these "men" she's more than up to the task at hand. I love these short glimpses of a time when women just weren't expected to do the things they did. The author does a magnificent job of taking us to this time by giving us amazing details down to attitudes, clothes, even the ugliness of life and death among the life of the privileged. I highly recommend not only this short story but the series as well

I was captivated by strong and astute Adele! This was an enthralling character-driven story with the current spying assignment providing a background hum of tension. The delicious tingle of unease caused by events unfolding external to the four main characters also aligned with Adele's concerns for the lifestyle and relationship challenges of her life as a spy. What fantastic insights Adele highlighted about the attitude of the men around her and the restrictions society placed on women in that era. Very thought provoking. I'm absolutely loving the intelligent and complex character layers revealed by Adele as she experiences each new encounter in her life as a spy. I appreciate the brief recap at the start of the book but also recommend that you start at book one of the series to fully enjoy getting to know Adele's evolution as a spy and the building characterisations of each additional personality working with Adele.
