A Kiss from the Devil

Lizzie Hardwicke, Book 4

De: Georgina Clarke

Narrado por: Sophie Ward

Blood may be thicker than water, but is family more important than the truth?

London, August 1759. Lizzie Hardwicke, society harlot and occasional investigator for the magistrate, is shaken by an encounter with her estranged brother during a riotous evening hosted by the notorious Devil's Brotherhood. Beyond the opulence of this Mayfair party, a streetwalker is found strangled on the doorstep of a well-known moral campaigner, her cheek branded with the letter V.

When more girls are discovered dead and similarly marked, Lizzie fears that someone stalks the streets with a violent hatred of women, and as the evidence begins to point to her own brother, any remaining family loyalty she has is severely tested.

Her past catches up with her and her future becomes increasingly dangerous, yet Lizzie is still unaware of darker plots being hatched in the shadows by those who wish to silence her for good. This time, the consequences of her investigations will lead her to a place where even Will Davenport, the one man she trusts, won't be able to find her.

Great series!

I have really enjoyed all of the Lizzie Harwicke books and this one definitely did not disappoint. Such a fascinating point of view of this time period in London and so different from others of this genre of which I have read hundreds. A little spoiler alert here, but Ms Clarke, a BIG thank you for bringing Will and Lizzie's relationship to a resolution instead of letting it carry on in limbo for the next 10 books!! A great ending! However, I sincerely hope, like the magistrate that we do not loose them both and their adventures will continue!!
