The Agency 2: The Body at the Tower

By: Y. S. Lee

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

Now nearly a full-fledged member of the Agency, the all-female detective unit operating out of Miss Scrimshaw’s Academy for Girls, Mary Quinn is back for another action-packed adventure. Disguised as a poor apprentice builder and a boy, she must brave the grimy underbelly of Victorian London - as well as childhood memories of fear, hunger, and constant want - to unmask the identity of a murderer.

Assigned to monitor a building site on the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament, Mary earns the confidence of the work crew, inching ever nearer her suspect. But if an irresistible desire to help the city’s needy doesn’t distract her and jeopardize her cover, unexpectedly meeting up with an old friend - or flame - just might.

A suspenseful and evocative window into a fascinating moment in history, The Body at the Tower is the much-anticipated second outing with a daring young detective.

A fun little story

I enjoyed the second installment of the agency series. Mary’s misadventures for the agency reveal more about her character in this installment. Definitely enjoyable and looking forward to the next one.

Good book

I love this narrator. She really changes her voice to make each character distinct and come alive

Can't get enough

I wish I could have read this series when I was younger. It's rare to find female protagonists of eurasian descent who exhibit such strength of character. The narration was excellent as well.

Hoping the next two in series will become audible stories

Pls make the next two in the series into audible stories. Well done mystery, action, suspense, with likable, nuanced main characters.

The mysteries are incredibly intruiging

I loved absolutely everything about this book, and the mysteries are what kept me going! I have just finished the sequel, “The Body at the Tower”, and that is just as good!
