TO DISGUISE THE TRUTH

When Arthur Livingston arrives out of the blue at the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency, anxious to hire the agency to seek out a missing heiress, Eunice Holbrooke realizes her past has finally caught up with her.

Having fled from the scene of her grandfather's murder seven years before, Eunice is a lady with secrets -- the most important that she is the missing heiress Arthur is seeking. She has no intention of allowing him to learn she's been disguising herself, especially when she has reason to believe Arthur could hold her responsible for her grandfather's death.

In order to avoid Arthur and conceal her real identity, Eunice takes on another case that requires her to go deep undercover. With secrets from the past -- and Arthur -- appearing wherever she looks, she wonders how she will ever uncover the truth behind her grandfather's murder. Will what she discovers set Eunice free or place or place her in peril's way?

My Review:

:-) That's me, wearing my Cheshire Cat grin all the way through this sidesplitting, action-packed and ever-so-witty conclusion to the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency series. Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! And the opening scene sets it off to a rip-roaring mayhem of a start! No one can write cheery bedlam with the finesse and flare of Jen Turano! I still have stitches in my sides from the rapid-fire dialogue liberally peppered with hidden barbs. Have I said brilliant already? I think I have, but really, what else is there for a reviewer to say? Magnificent? Splendid? Glorious? Yes, yes and yes!!!

I've been intrigued by Eunice from the very first book and have been anxiously anticipating the big reveal of her back story and the author does not disappoint. It's complicated (of course) and fraught with danger (of course) and there's suddenly a time crunch that increases urgency and raises the potential of danger. Meanwhile, Eunice is deep undercover in the unlikeliest of places. Which means more danger. More time sensitive dilemmas. 

The Agency is at it's finest here with Eunice leading the charge and so many of our much loved characters backing her up with their unique talents and insights. Bwahahaha! I don't think you necessarily have to read the first two books before reading this one, but you'll definitely enjoy it more if you do 'cause you'll get all the inside jokes.

Oh -- and romance abounds! Not just between Arthur and Eunice but...well, you'll just have to read the book to find out where else Cupid's arrow lands.

The grandest of grand finales, To Disguise the Truth might just be my favourite Bleecker Street Agency story.

Oh -- and I enjoyed listening to the audible edition of this book narrated by Andrea Emmes. She's done a fabulous job with the entire series and the way she delivers those humdinger one-liners...laugh out loud funny, that's what!
