| Title: The Garden Intrigue Authour: Lauren Willig Genre: Adult Historical Fiction Rating: 5 |
Lauren Willig is one of my favorite authors and I always get super excited when a new Pink Carnation comes out because I am never disappointed. This book was no exception. Someday I will make it to one of her book signings even if I have to take a plane to get to there :)
Review:
The Garden Intrigue takes place in France and centers around the relatable Emma Delagardie and the poet/spy Augustus Whittlesby. Emma is a flirtatious widow who knows a lot more than she lets on; even possibly about the secret machine Bonaparte is waiting for to use against England. Augustus, on the other hand, is a seemingly superfluous spy ;) whose feelings about Emma may lead him astray from the task at hand; discovering out about Bonaparte's secret machine.
Overall, the characters are wonderful and funny and the plot races along so fast you can't put the book down. I recommend this series to people all the time and will continue to with this book.
