Publisher's Summary
Meanwhile, back in England, Letty Alsworthy intercepts a note indicating that her sister, Mary, is about to make the very grave mistake of eloping with Geoffrey Pinghingdale-Snipe (second in command of the League of the Purple Gentian). In an attempt to save the family name, Letty tries to stop the elopement, but instead finds herself swept away in the midnight carriage meant for her sister and is accidentally compromised. Geoff and Letty, to each other's horror, find themselves forced into matrimony. Then Geoff receives word that he is to travel to Ireland to help the Pink Carnation; he disappears immediately after their ceremony. Letty learns of Geoff's disappearance and, not to be outdone by her husband, Letty Alsworthy steals away on a ship bound for Ireland, armed and ready to fight for her spouse and to learn a thing or two about spying for England.
As in her previous tales, The Secret History of the Pink Carnation and The Masque Of the Black Tulip, a modern-day heroine and hero, Eloise Kelly and Colin Selwick, continue their budding romance in this captivating third novel in the series.
Don't miss the first two books in this series: The Secret History of the Pink Carnation and The Masque of the Black Tulip.

"More, more, more!"
This is chick lit at its finest and most fun. While the 1st in the series remains my favorite, I wouldn't have missed any of them and have listened to each 3 times. Kate Reading's narration is invaluable to the success of these stories and the author's wit and literary style are wonderful. There is another in the series coming out soon. Here's hoping Audible will get it for us quickly.
If you like this series, don't miss Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody and the Vickie Bliss series, also available on Audible, but be sure to get the ones with Barbara Rosenblat as the narrator.7 of 8 people found this review helpful -

"Another Success"
If you could sum up The Deception of the Emerald Ring in three words, what would they be?She's got it
What did you like best about this story?I loved Leety's tenacity. Though not in love with her newlywed husband at the time, she finds love and her own sense of self achievement.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?I made it in just a few sittings. Like the other books in this series, the story flows beautifully between the historical plot and the modern day happenings the books are set in.

"Worth a listen."
Considerably less entertaining than the first two books, both of which were absolutely smashing. Both leading characters are less well-developed than in previous books: Letty Alsworthy is a country mouse with some little charm, it's true, but Geoffrey Pinghingdale-Snipe remains as quiet and unassuming as a leading man as he was as a backgrounf figure in previous books. Still, it's entertaining enough, especially the bits in between involving the modern day Eloise and Colin. Worth a listen.

"More mayhem with spies and counterspies"
Another fun story of spies and romance. Light and entertaining and ultimately made best by the very deft performance of Kate Reading.

"The story goes on"
What did you love best about The Deception of the Emerald Ring?Nothing specific. Letty is a very nice person, maybe a little naive. And Eloise, she is fun and really want to know Colin. I like her and the two stories in this series.
Who was your favorite character and why?Nobody specific.
Have you listened to any of Kate Reading’s other performances before? How does this one compare?I listened to a lot of books performed by Kate Reading. For me she is the best!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?No, just hearing it on my daily commute to work.
Any additional comments?non.
