About the Book
Title: A Scheming in Parliament
Series: Of Cloaks & Daggers #2
Author: Erica Vetsch
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: August 26, 2025
Genre: Regency Mystery Romance
Evil is masquerading in the halls of Parliament, and Sir Bertrand Thorndike is tasked with investigating from the inside. With his new position as a member of the House of Commons, he has access to the power brokers of English government. His tactic is to listen and learn, careful not to reveal his true motives, and he's quickly inducted into the mysterious Theban Club.
Miss Philippa Cashel's mission, the Princess Charlotte Eleos School for Women in Need, is thriving with donations, and the students are learning skills to help them earn their livings in honorable ways. But when a dear friend's past is revealed by blackmail, Philippa must wrestle with the question, Is it ever right to do the wrong thing?
Bertie's and Philippa's missions collide when Bertie uncovers a dangerous plot involving vulnerable women. He and Philippa join forces against the corruption threatening to topple England's government, all while navigating their outward reputations and inward feelings for each other.
My thoughts: While I enjoyed the first book in this series, I think that I liked this one even better, since we have the chance to get to know the characters even better!
Bertie has settled into the new role that Marcus and the crown require of him, with giving up his former persona and getting elected to Parliament to figure out the underhand dealings behind a possible tax vote.
Phillipa has settled into her position at Eleos and the mission of rescuing women from hard situations. When a mysterious young woman stumbles into their community, too afraid to speak, she must figure out what is going on.
I loved the glimpse of Parliament, which was interesting without being dry. I feel like I have learned a lot about the time period through this series!
The story ends with a bit of a cliffhanger. I look forward to reading the next installment of the series!
I received this book from Just Read. This is my honest review.
