Mary Quinn is a young sleuth living in the 18th century. She's received special training from the agency that rescued her from the life of crime that she resorted to in order to survive. Her mission this time is simple enough: go undercover working as a maid at Buckingham Palace in order to determine who has been stealing from the queen. Mary's uncanny ability to move through the palace undetected helps her to uncover an even bigger crime. It seems that there may be a huge scandal that involves the young prince. Additionally, the same scandal may involve Mary's long estranged father! The suspense builds in this intriguing and well-written novel. Mary is an intuitive and intelligent character who is extremely likeable. Behind her strong exterior is a very empathetic human being who struggles in making difficult decisions. Will Mary be able to overlook her personal involvement, control her emotions, and solve the crime for which she was hired? Could she possibly diffuse the even bigger scandal that is brewing? Or will her cover be blown and, as a result, will innocent people be hurt by her actions and moments of self-doubt? Readers will anxiously turn the pages eager to uncover the answers. This is the third installment of "The Agency" series. Reviewer: Denise DaleyVOYA - Lona Trulove
Victorian England comes alive again with Y.S Lee's third novel in The Agency series. Lee has a terrific knack of combining intrigue, romance, and mystery with the strong female character, Mary Quinn. Mary could be a modern-day young woman with her determination, intelligence, and strong will. The Traitor In The Tunnel finds Mary on a mission to stop a petty thief at Buckingham Palace, but the plot quickly thickens when Mary finds herself having to fight off the affections of the Prince of Wales, as well as having to find out the true identity of an accused killer. As with all of Lee's Agency novels, there is a bit of history sprinkled in. Readers are introduced to historical figures Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales; they learn about the prejudice against the Chinese at that time; and they discover some facts about Buckingham Palace. Girls of all ages will enjoy the fast pace, the twisting plot, and most of all, the romance that awaits them in The Traitor In The Tunnel. This is a great way to get young girls interested in Victorian England while letting them escape with a strong heroine at the helm. This would be a fun read for book clubs, or small groups of students in classrooms to read together and discuss. Reviewer: Lona Trulove
