Kensington, Belletristik, Penny for Your Secrets (Englisch, Anna Lee Huber, 2019)

England, 1919. In Anna Lee Huber&rsquo s latest mystery, former Secret Service agent Verity Kent is finding that life after wartime offers its own share of danger . . . The Great War may be over, but for many, there are still obstacles on the home front. Reconciling with her estranged husband makes Verity sympathetic to her friend Ada&rsquo s marital difficulties. Bourgeois-bred Ada, recently married to the Marquess of Rockham, is overwhelmed trying to navigate the ways of the aristocracy. And when Lord Rockham is discovered shot through the heart with a bullet from Ada&rsquo s revolver, Verity fears her friend has made a fatal blunder. While striving to prove Ada&rsquo s innocence, Verity is called upon for another favor. The sister of a former Secret Service colleague has been killed in what authorities believe was a home invasion gone wrong. The victim&rsquo s war work&mdash censoring letters sent by soldiers from the front&mdash exposed her to sensitive, disturbing material. Verity begins to suspect these two unlikely cases may be linked. But as the connections deepen, the consequences&mdash not just for Verity, but for Britain&mdash grow more menacing than she could have imagined.
