The Southcott Jewels
Tracy Grant
A duke’s manor house party. Feuding spies. Stolen jewels. A ducal divorce. What could go wrong?An invitation to the country estate of the Duke of Bamford seems a welcome escape from London intrigues for former spies Malcolm and Mélanie Rannoch. They’ve just survived one of their most challenging and personal investigations ever. But the ducal house party is not quite the bucolic idyll they hoped for. Anthony and Henrietta Southcott, Duke and Duchess of Bamford, plan to announce their shocking plans to divorce to their friends and grown children.The ensuing scandal alone is enough to shake the Regency beau monde, but stolen treasure from the English Civil War, a secret passage, and stolen papers from the far more recent Napoleonic Wars plunge the Rannochs right back into the dangers they thought they had left behind. Soon they're racing to untangle a fiendish plot and prevent a disaster that would prove far more deadly than divorce…

A gathering of spies! Whatever can go wrong? The books by Tracy Grant are always very complex, lots of characters and multilayered. This one - though a novella - is no exception. It’s like reconnecting with old friends. I don’t recommend reading this book without having read the prior book in this series. In fact this is a series you do actually need to read from book one to get the full experience. The snippets from the past about how Desiree and Tony met and their subsequent clandestine spy romance filled with intrigue really need to be written as a full historical romance. It has Joanna Bourne vibes all over it, just saying!
