Ginger Reed, the former Lady Gold, and her husband, Chief Inspector Basil Reed, are celebrating the adoption of their son Scout, when they learn that their neighbor has disappeared. Lord George Whitmore left work yesterday and never returned home. Known for his past affairs with several women, people believe Whitmore will eventually find his way home to his wife. Ginger saw Lord Whitmore with another woman yesterday while she was running errands. She and Basil visit the apartment she saw him enter and find his body. Later a man from Ginger's past tells her that he needs her help. He puts Ginger in the position of keeping secrets from her husband or breaking her oath to her country.
I wasn't a big fan of this cozy mystery. Though all of the usual characters were back for this story, we had to deal with Ginger's past in the British Secret Service during the first World War. I'm not a fan of the stories where her past gets in the way of our mystery. I hope this is the last time. The final chapter does have some good news for the readers of this series. I'm looking forward to what happens next. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
