Banquet of Lies - Regency London
Formats: E-Book, Paperback
A SECRET TREATY AND A SECRET LIFE
REGENCY LONDON: Giselle Barrington is living a double life, juggling the duties of chef with those of spy-catcher. She must identify her father’s savage killer before the shadowy man finds her and uncovers the explosive political document her father entrusted to her safekeeping.
Posing as a French cook in the home of Lord Aldridge, Giselle is surrounded by unlikely allies and vicious enemies. In the London streets where she once walked freely among polite society, she now hides in plain sight, learning the hard lessons of class distinction and negotiating the delicate balance between servant and master.
Lord Aldridge’s insatiable curiosity about his mysterious new chef blurs the line between civic duty and outright desire. Carefully watching Giselle’s every move, he undertakes a mission to figure out who she really is—and in the process, plunges her straight into the heart of danger when her only hope for survival was to remain invisible.

This story may be of particular interest to those who have read the author’s previous book, The Emperor’s Conspiracy, as characters from the two books blend seamlessly together to create a unique setting that has the feel of a series. Diener has found the perfect formula for a great historical read, including genuine characters, a fast-paced and intriguing plot, and a storyline that will delight readers of mysteries, as well as those interested in the Napoleonic War era. This book is pure reading pleasure!
