Curtsies & Conspiracies
Gail Carriger
Fiction C235c
Does one need four fully grown foxgloves for decorating a dinner
table for six guests? Or is it six foxgloves to kill four fully grown
guests?
Sophronia's first year at Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy
for Young Ladies of Quality has certainly been rousing! For one thing,
finishing school is training her to be a spy--won't Mumsy be surprised?
Furthermore, Sophronia got mixed up in an intrigue over a stolen device
and had a cheese pie thrown at her in a most horrid display of poor
manners.
Now, as she sneaks around the dirigible school, eavesdropping on the
teachers' quarters and making clandestine climbs to the ship's boiler
room, she learns that there may be more to a field trip to London than
is apparent at first. A conspiracy is afoot--one with dire implications
for both supernaturals and humans. Sophronia must rely on her training
to discover who is behind the dangerous plot-and survive the London
Season with a full dance card.
