Krátky popis
&,nbsp, A compulsively entertaining historical YA novel that
playfully blends dark academia with scandal, murder mystery and
queer romance - like If We Were Villains meets Lex Croucher. In
Regency England, Cascabel Gray dreams of freedom - and disguises
herself as a boy to secure a place at Oxford University. After all,
she's as comfortable in breeches as she is in ballgowns.Her plans
are upended, however, when she receives a blackmail letter from
Charles Lafleur, a member of infamous secret society the Rogues
Club, threatening to expose her. But when Lafleur is found dead,
the plot thickens... and Cascabel becomes a prime suspect in his
murder.She joins the Rogues Club to conduct an investigation of her
own, and her life soon begins to spiral out of control. To survive,
she must switch between her male and female personas, attracting
both fellow student William Grenville and a chambermaid known as
Mouse - and even attending a ball with an Austrian prince. Can she
find a way to balance her double life and clear her name, before
she loses everything? This book combines the genius ingredients of
cosy crime, queer romance and dark academia, all wrapped up in a
fast-paced, entertaining plot - perfect for fans of Agency for
Scandal, Laura Steven and Lex Croucher.A fierce, determined and
irresistible protagonist who slips fluidly between two identities
and genders as Cascabel and Pom. All the period-drama appeal of a
historical Regency setting, with a vibrant, modern sensibility and
a sensitive handling of prejudice. Joe's first novel, The Rules of
Seeing, won the Romantic Novelist Association's Debut Novel Award.
