A traumatic personal crisis has left Lady Arianna bedeviled by guilt and questioning whether she has lost her nerve. Her circle of friends can't seem to help rekindle her fire. Even a challenge from Lord Grentham, Britain's shadowy head spymaster, to undertake a vital mission to Russia in aid of her old friend, Tsar Alexander, fails to spark any interest . . . Until Grentham mentions that Arianna's half-brother has gone in her place and may be in mortal danger. Resentful of the minister's attempt to manipulate her emotions, she still refuses to be drawn back into the fray.
But when the murder of a mysterious Russian baroness in London entangles her friend Sophia in the byzantine intrigue surrounding a stolen Imperial medallion and a legendary curse that may topple the Tsar from his throne if it's not recovered, Arianna finds she can't turn her back on family and friends.
And so Arianna and Saybrook—along with Sophia—head off to St. Petersburg, where dangerous deceptions and duplicity swirl beneath the sumptuous splendor of the Imperial Court. An American adventuress, an old nemesis, a possible traitor within their own allies . . . Suspects abound—treachery is everywhere, and when her brother goes missing, Arianna know that for her to have any hope catching the cunning conspirators, she'll have to learn to trust herself again.

The story itself, as a historical mystery (or is that an historical mystery, though it's part of a series) in the series is one of my favorites so I'm biased. Well, ok I love both of Ms. Penrose's Historical Mystery series — Wrexford & Sloane and The Lady Arianna Hadley Mysteries — and have never been disappointed. Sometimes I can sort of guess who is the culprit; well, ok, I try to put the clues together but a few times out of most may have only guessed it partially and the ending is always a surprise. It's one of the book series that has broken me of trying to peek at the ending to see if I'll enjoy the book beforehand. Or perhaps that's age, I used to do it far more in my teens and early twenties. That habit lessened over time to the point where I hardly did it by the age of 40 or so. Back on point, Ms. Penrose, I feel is always worth a read and even re-reading. I also appreciate Ms. Penrose's hard work on her writings.
