The Agency

review 1: Neat little YA series for young adults and adults who enjoy historical fiction. Secret agent Mary Quinn is a conflicted former thief given a second chance to use her intelligence and cleverness for solving crimes. Add to the action a host of memorable characters and the often gritty, sometimes lovely, setting of Victorian London and it's a not to miss read. Glad to have happened on this series at the library!
review 2: I'm really enjoying this series. A good bit of tension in this installment, as Mary's new assignment requires her to dress up as a boy and infiltrate a building site. This is all too reminiscent of her early years, and old memories of her childhood threaten to overwhelm her. It is clear to her (or is it?) that she must suppress who she was in ... moreorder to live this new life of working for The Agency. The character development and the background pieces slowly filled in engage the reader, and the story line is executed very well. Twists and turns abound, but always there is an understanding of the impact of those developments as they would have affected the characters at that time and in that society. less
