Celia is the youngest of the Sharpe siblings. She was 4/5 when her parents died and has the least amount of memories of them. However, just maybe something she remembered could be helpful. She tells Jackson (Pinter) a Bow Street Runner has been in the previous books. He is investigating the parents' deaths.
Both antagonize the other. Both are interested and curious. And both have preconceived notions about the other. Things happen and there is the added event of an attempt on Celia's life. The longstanding thread of the parents murders is resolved in this. Nice end to the series.
Pierce (Virginia's cousin) and Maximilian (the Duke of Lyons) get stories in the next series.

This is the last of 5 in a series. The previous 4 should be read before this one.

Typically terrific Jeffries.
As with all hers, it was a fun & quick read with lots of witty dialogue. Great wrap up to the Who Done It mystery woven throughout the last 5 stories.
I no longer keep every book Jeffries writes, and sometimes I get a bit lost when her characters are discussing the plot points that they remember better than I do, but I always enjoy reading her books and cannot wait for the next one, whether it's related or not.
