Our Teen Book of the Month for January is The Agency for Scandal – the brand-new book from the exquisite YA writer that is Laura Wood. It’s the perfect read to curl up with this winter and is perfect for fans of shows like Bridgerton and Enola Homes. It stars an all-female detective agency writing wrongs at the end of the 19th century. They’re infiltrating a scandalous upper-class world that is straight out of Bridgerton, using their wit and bravery to unmask a really terrible villain.
Eighteen-year-old Isobel Stanhope is keeping a lot of secrets. There’s the fact that she’s head over heels in love with the duke who she believes doesn’t know she exists; there’s the fact that her family is penniless, but nobody knows about that; then there’s her job at the Aviary, an investigative agency run by women that specialises in digging up scandal on powerful men. When Izzy finds herself pulled into a case that involves gaslighting, blackmail and missing jewels, as well as the Duke that holds her heart, can she and her friends untangle the web of secrets and lies to uncover the truth and protect the innocent? And when the stakes are so high, what happens when the crush she’s been hiding begins to turn into so much more?
This book is just such a treat. Glorious, sparkling writing, brilliantly plotted mystery, it’s just pure pleasure to read. Not to mention the stunning cover by Mercedes Debellard, and the beautiful spine. This is one not to be missed!
