YAPalace of Spies series.
In the third book, Peggy Fitzroy returns to her role as a palace spy, this time bringing along her cousin Olivia. Peggy's duties become complicated as her aunt is accused of treachery; she gains sympathy for old rivals; and the true identity of Peggy's patron is revealed. The eighteenth-century London court remains lushly built, but there's limited action in this subdued adventure.
