Ada & The French (The Woodhouse Series #2)
Adelaide 'Ada' Woodhouse is home. Six months after the chaos in Nottingham, Adelaide has become somewhat of a celebrity - or at least Ada Carne has. While requests for investigations are put forward, Adelaide is focused on three things; her art, her studies and her family. And maybe also a certain Earl. When the Woodhouses travel to Paris for a much-deserved vacation, Adelaide's hopes of exploring the vibrant and culturally rich city are thwarted when she inadvertently finds herself involved and invested in an anarchist group that is targeting the Bourgeoise. Not only does she get on the wrong side of the Commissioner of the Parisian police, but she catches the eye of a charming Frenchman who thrusts her deeper into the investigation while reuniting with Louis Hatton, meeting his delightful cousin, befriending an Irishman and making enemies of a few young French women, one with eyes on her Earl. To make matters worse, her brother, the great Dr Theodore Woodhouse is, surprisingly, causing all sorts of his antics across the capital, putting the Woodhouse's name and reputation into jeopardy once again. As the anarchist group begins to gain traction, Adelaide finds that no matter how hard she tries to get away from the detective life, maybe it was her calling all along and putting her life on the line to protect others was what she was always meant to do.Concluida
