Incident in Berkeley Square<\/a><\/em> (2015) Tracy Grant<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Incident-in-Berkeley-Square\"<\/a>Set in London in April 1818<\/p>\n

The latest Malcolm & Suzanne Rannoch short story takes place after the events of The Mayfair Affair<\/em>. Malcolm and Suzanne are hosting a party–an event to help introduce Laura (their former governess) into society, when Raoul and two other spies take refuge in their library. <\/p>\n

This is a short story, so it is a small intrigue that is the mystery, but it was still fun to see how the characters deal with the unexpected–and with each other.<\/p>\n

“If I imply you’re nursing her that will be sure to deflect questions. Amazing how squeamish that can make some people\u2014including many of the gentlemen who don’t think twice about looking down one’s bodice when one isn’t feeding a baby.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I will admit that an anachronism in this book started me off on a long discussion with Michael about how hard it would be to develop a program that highlights words that came into use after the book was set. Mostly because this is the second time this author has done it to me, this time with the word introvert, which is most definitely a 20th century word. <\/p>\n

It seems to me that someone should be able to develop this.
