About this eBook

The New York Times Bestseller!

Miss Amity Doncaster, world traveler, is accustomed to adventure and risk. Benedict Stanbridge, a man of science and a spy for the Crown, has faced danger in the darker corners of foreign lands. Now they are about to face a threat that is shockingly close to home…

One does not expect to be kidnapped on a London street in broad daylight. Yet Amity Doncaster barely escapes with her life after she is trapped in a carriage with the killer known in the press as the Bridegroom. He is unwholesomely obsessed by her scandalous connection to Benedict Stanbridge—gossip about their hours alone in a ship’s stateroom seems to have crossed the Atlantic faster than any sailing vessel could. Benedict refuses to let this resourceful, daring woman suffer for her romantic link to him—as tenuous as it may be.

For a man and woman so skilled at disappearing, so at home in the exotic reaches of the globe, escape is always an option. But each intends to end the Bridegroom’s reign of terror in London. And as they join forces and prepare to confront an unbalanced criminal in the heart of the city they love, they must also face feelings that neither can run from...

Ratings and reviews

It is predictable, as expected of this genre. The fact the characters are trying to solve a mystery does bring a nice climax to the plot of the story. It was enough to inspire me to finish the book. Its good if you're simply wanting a light read for a vacation or something else of the sort. Unfortunately, there was not anything that stood out, causing it to rise above anything else I've read.

Once again this story full with suspen and there are some unpredictable scenes happen. Been purchase more than 5 books of Amanda Quick but this story by far one of best suspen story.

Great read. "Quick" is great at capturing your interest fast, with no sissy women, intriguing men, and not so obvious plots. I love all her books!!
