About the book
The owners of The Right Sort Marriage Bureau are making a comeback, with a renewed determination to bring love matches to the residents of Post-WWII London . . . even a spy mission can't get in their way!
Things heat up when a familiar face comes to town . . .
London, 1947. After recent events have left Iris Sparks feeling shaken, she's in need of some peace. With The Right Sort thriving, Iris and business partner Gwen Bainbridge are looking forward to a holiday. However, Iris's ex-boss asks for their help on a classified mission.
Iris, who left British intelligence after the war, is needed for her connection to Anthony Danforth. Despite not having seen Tony in years, Iris and Gwen must persuade him to use their marriage service.
Tony is under suspicion of being a Soviet agent, and a spy posing as his ideal match could uncover the truth. Reluctant as she is to return to the world of espionage, Iris agrees. If Tony is innocent, she'll prove it. If not? Well, being a spy was never meant to be easy . . .
Enthusiasts of Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher Mysteries and Dorothy Sayers will fall in love with this charming and clever historical mystery!
