A Malcolm & Suzanne Rannoch Mystery In the elegant environs of Mayfair, Malcolm and Suzanne Rannoch live a seemingly charmed life. Malcolm, a former diplomatic attaché and intelligence agent, is a rising Member of Parliament. Suzanne is fast becoming one of London’s most sought hostesses. But even their closest friends don’t know that the Rannoch’s marriage is still reeling from the revelation that Suzanne was a French spy when she met British agent Malcolm and that she married him to gather information on British plans. Malcolm and Suzanne are hoping for private time to repair their marriage. But their peace is shattered by a late night visit from a Bow Street runner. The powerful Duke of Trenchard has been found murdered in the study of his St. James’s Square house. And Laura Dudley, governess to the Rannoch children, was standing over the dying duke. Malcolm and Suzanne are convinced the woman they trusted with their children is not a killer. To prove Laura’s innocence, they are drawn into an investigation that will test their wits and the fragile truce between them. But whether or not she murdered the Duke of Trenchard, Laura Dudley is certainly not what she seemed. Revelations about her identity cut dangerously close to Suzanne’s own past. Malcolm and Suzanne realize more is at stake than Laura’s life and liberty. The investigation into the Duke of Trenchard’s murder will either prove the resilience of their bond–or snap it in two. "Shimmers like the finest salons in Vienna." —Deborah Crombie "Meticulous, delightful, and full of surprises." —Tasha Alexander "Glittering balls, deadly intrigue, sexual scandals. . .the next best thing to actually being there!"—Lauren Willig "A superb storyteller."—Deanna Raybourn

By phh A disappointment - OK at best - Recommend new readers concentrate on the earlier books. This series is running out of steam, the author devoting pages to discussions of obstacles in relationships for the sake of adding yet another book and more pages, thus avoiding working with the plot.The result consists of pages filled with glances, introspection and hurt feelings with a hurried letter at the end summarizing the solution to the actual crimes. Editing? No attempt to use accurate speech and idioms. Content? A victim was shot to death at the beginning of the book; later on there is a discussion of his being stabbed (which covering more than a page should have caught any editor's attention). Formatting? Kindle version is a disaster: double spacing is for drafts/proofs - not for reading.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Another great mystery from Grant. By OLT A nicely convoluted, complex mystery in the Malcolm/Suzanne series, this begins three months after The Berkeley Square Affair (Malcolm & Suzanne Rannoch Historical Mysteries Book 7) ended. Malcolm and Suzanne's personal relationship is, of course, still strained after the revelation in the last book that Suzanne has been working as a French spy before and throughout their marriage, unbeknownst to Malcolm, who is still feeling the betrayal, and Suzanne is feeling major guilt.The mystery here begins with the death of the Duke of Trenchard, found murdered in his study. Laura Dudley, the governess for Malcolm and Suzanne's children, is arrested for the crime and so Suzanne and Malcolm, hoping she is innocent, feel the need to work with Bow Street agent Roth to find the real killer. It's quite an involved story with a murder victim so unsympathetic, ruthless, devious and amoral that the list of possible killers is almost endless.All the usual characters are here. Malcolm's family and friends, numerous members of the Upper Ten Thousand, Carfax, Malcolm's spymaster, and O'Roarke, Suzanne's spymaster and Malcolm's biological father. (It's complicated and that info is not a spoiler.) And we have all the trademark sexual intrigues and peccadilloes that Grant's books are known for. You almost need to make a spreadsheet for this one to keep track of who has slept with whom and who has fathered whom.As Malcolm and Suzanne investigate, the can of worms opens up more and more. Spying, past and present political intrigue in England and in India, the Carfax tie-in because he's Trenchard's father-in-law, the years-ago death of Trenchard's eldest son in India, and then to add to the puzzle a second member of Carfax's family is murdered soon after the first murder.What's going on? Is Carfax somehow involved? And who is Laura Dudley really and what does she have to do with all this? Well, just read to find out. This mystery was quite enjoyable, what with all the possible suspects and the twists and turns of the various political and romantic/sexual intrigues. I'm not super good at solving mysteries beforehand in a book but I think that even if I were I wouldn't have been successful in this case. The murderer here wasn't even on my radar.So for me this was a 5-star mystery. Why I don't give the book 5 stars is because of the couple's personal problem and its treatment. They're trying to work things out but they are so phlegmatic and cool and almost passionless in their conversations and their treatment of each other. I suppose we are to think that in those three months between this book and the previous one is when they had their major blowup but it feels as if they hadn't really scratched the surface of this deceit and betrayal. They still tread very lightly around each other and there's some passive-aggressiveness in occasional comments by Malcolm which makes me feel they need way more work.So, in summary, I loved the mystery but felt somewhat unsatisfied by how personal relationship is developing.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The wait has been worth it. By S. G. Shoemake I just re-read "Mayfair" - and it was just as magical as the first time. It drew me in and I chafed at life's annoyances [showering, eating, grocery shopping, etc.] until I could get back. "Mayfair" meets my hallmark of "keepers" because there are new avenues and new hidden "rooms" to find upon each re-reading.Congratulations Tracy on another home run.
