Returning to London, Beatrice (24yo) is determined to enjoy all the excitement of the city she can before her past catches up to her. Beatrice’s good friend arranges an outing for them with a suitable man to escort Beatrice—unfortunately, Mr. Rawlings takes that man’s place. When the couple is nearly murdered on their outing, they are forced to flee London together until the suspect can be apprehended, illustrating that Mr. Rawlings can ruin not only a fun evening but an entire trip.
Beatrice is a damsel in distress to be saved, yes, but she is not useless. This protagonist is realistically panicked by the stressful situations she finds herself in and also gets to contribute to catching the bad guy in reasonable ways. Everything comes together a little too perfectly in the end in order to give readers their happily ever after, but the conclusion is still satisfactory. Characters from the previous two books in the series are present, but their stories are not required to enjoy this one.
