"A Mary Quinn mystery"--Jacket.
"Queen Victoria has a problem: there's a petty thief at work in Buckingham Palace. Charged with discretion, the Agency assigns quick-witted Mary Quinn to the case. Posing as a domestic in the royal household and fending off the attentions of a feckless Prince of Wales are challenge enough, but when the prince witnesses a murder in an opium den -- and scandal threatens the royal family -- Mary learns that the accused killer may be someone very close to her."--p.4 of cover.

Third in Series disappoints submitted by brielle on June 27, 2012, 8:40pm Miss Mary Quinn is a 20-year-old female undercover agent living and working in London during the Victorian Era. Saved from the gallows by a school teacher, she was taught and later trained as a spy. This book documents a third adventure.

Miss Quinn, disguised as a chambermaid, goes undercover in Buckingham Palace to find who is stealing trinkets from one of the parlors. Little does she know that there are more troubles that she'll have to deal with, including the troublesome journalist Mr. Jones and a man who could just be her father. Mr. James Easton is back in the picture again, and he and the pipes he's working on won't make things any easier.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series - at least enough to request and read the second and the third. However, this one wasn't uber entrancing. I set it down and read a few books before I finished this one, and skipped around before I finished it. This book is good - entertaining, surprising, ect. - but not super special.
