Interpretation Concering Books The Body at the Tower (The Agency #2)

Now nearly a full-fledged member of the Agency, the all-female detective unit operating out of Miss Scrimshaw's Academy for Girls, Mary Quinn is back for another action-packed adventure. Disguised as a poor apprentice builder and a boy, she must brave the grimy underbelly of Victorian London - as well as childhood fear, hunger, and constant want - to unmask the identity of a murderer. Assigned to monitor a building site on the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament, Mary earns the confidence of the work crew, inching ever nearer her suspect. But if an irresistible desire to help the city's needy doesn't distract her and jeopardize her cover, unexpectedly meeting up with an old friend - or flame - just might.

A suspenseful and evocative window into a fascinating moment in history, The Body at the Tower is the much-anticipated second outing with a daring young detective.

Column Containing Books The Body at the Tower (The Agency #2)

The Body at the Tower is book two in what I now discover is a quartet with absolutely no chance that the author will write more. That is a shame because these books have a lot going for them!Firstly the main character, Mary Quinn, is a good, strong, intelligent female who is well worth reading about. She is independent and resourceful and usually manages to pull herself out of the many scrapes she gets into. The male interest in the book, James, is a well written character as well and I enjoyed

Enjoyed the first book of the series more as it showed real promise and presented a sympathetic YA heroine, but I will now call it quits. Improbable events and inappropriate behavior, not faithful to historical tenets of Victorian era, and just silly. If I had a young adult reader in my house I would need to have a talk...unless the author means this to be fantasy vs historical fiction?

Why I picked it up: I read the first one and enjoyed it.It's a year after A Spy in the House and Mary has a new assignment from the Agency. Disappointingly, we get basically no detail on what she has done for the past year. Mary has a new assignment, and she has to decide if she wants it: posing as a young boy at a construction site. This puts her back in a similar position to her own childhood and the emotional affects are a bit overwhelming for Mary.I liked it, possibly even more than the

It has been a while since I read A Spy in the House, but I remember enjoying the premise and thought it would be fun to continue with this series.It took me a bit to get back into the story and remember the main character and her background, but once I did, I was excited to really sink my teeth into this story.I felt a little let down by the way the story unfolded. I had hoped for a little more intrigue, mystery and (maybe) ghostly elements. I mean the beginning talks a bit about it, but it all

3.5 stars. A time gap of about a year separates the events of the first book, A Spy in the House, and book 2, The Body at the Tower: Mary is now a full-fledged secret agent for The Agency. I would have liked more than passing references to the events in those in-between months that transformed her from street urchin to young lady, but in most other respects book two gave me precisely what I wanted more of from the first installment: Further character development for Mary and James, more details

This is the second installment of The Agency series about a young lady in Victorian England who is doing undercover work for a secret agency consisting of only women. I love these books and everytime I read them I taken back to my Nancy Drew obsession days...For full review and pictures, please click the link below:http://wwwbookbabe.blogspot.com/2010/...

The mystery itself wasn't that great, now that I think about it... but who cares? :)
