India Black and the Shadows of Anarchy Madam of Espionage Mysteries series Book 3 edition by Carol K Carr Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks

-Very entertaining follow up in the series with India Black. She is now called upon by the Prime Minister, Disraeli (referred to by those who work for him as Dizzy) to assist in the uncovering of a group of anarchists who have terrorized the city of London with various bombings. French, the British agent who had always accompanied her on her previous missions, is now occupied with other cases, and she is enlisted by Dizzy to go it alone.
-Her initial project is to hire away a prostitute that’s working for a madam in a very low end of town, called Seven Dials. She undertakes this and tricks the madam, who is a bulldog of a woman, to leave the house so she could make an offer to this specific prostitute, Martine. According to the information given to her by Dizzy, this prostitute is known to be connected to a man, Bonnaire, who is part of a ring of anarchists, and who the government is trying to infiltrate. She succeeds in doing so, but also succeeds in making an enemy of this madam, which causes its own problems.
-She feigns to be loyal to the cause of the anarchists in front of Martine, who confides in her and introduces her to Bonnaire. He, in turn, brings her into the anarchist circle along with another new recruit. It’s all that India could do to hold back her surprise as the other recruit turns out to be French.
-This turns out to be a game of wits between the anarchists and herself and French, as they have to arrange for plots which will make the anarchists believe that India and French are totally committed to the cause, while they must also foil whatever plans are made to blow up areas in London.
-Along the way, India investigates her own background, from the comment from Lady Aberkill of Tullibardine that India’s mother was known to her. She finds out about the home that she grew up in, and then finds out details about her mother that she never knew before, including the fact that her mother was born into an upper circle family. To add to the events in India’s personal life, her relationship to French takes on a new course, when her attraction to him is met by his admission of the same feelings toward her, although there are a few wrinkles to be worked out first.
-This is another very enjoyable story, with the superb, tongue in cheek writing, that makes the whole journey so pleasant. The ending is also something that is totally unexpected.

India Black and the Shadows of Anarchy Madam of Espionage Mysteries series Book 3 edition by Carol K Carr Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

India Black, brothel madam-cum-British spy is on to her third adventure, after India Black (A Madam of Espionage Mystery) and India Black and the Widow of Windsor (A Madam of Espionage Mystery). (A nice little extra novella, India Black and the Rajah's Ruby (A MADAM OF ESPIONAGE MYSTERY), is also available and gives readers the background on how India came to be the owner of her very own brothel.)

In this one India's mission for Prime Minister Disraeli is to infiltrate an anarchist cell, the Dark Legion. Anarchy in the late 1800s was strong in England, emboldened by the dissatisfaction of the oppressed worker class and their resentment of the priviledged upper class. Government officials and lords alike were afraid for their lives, with all-too-frequent bombings and other attacks even hurting innocent people. India begins her assignment solo this time. French, the British spy who recruited her in the first book, is off, mysteriously, somewhere else.

That's all I'll say about the plot but I enjoyed this book even more than the previous ones. India is in full humorous, snarky, cynical mode and the story is from her unique POV and written in the first person. Some people are not fond of first person POV narrative but it really works here, given India's really funny, saucy, take-charge, no-nonsense attitude. She's smart and resourceful and has her head on straight, seeing the bad and good in everyone, but mostly expecting the bad. You need to read this without skipping or skimming because you won't want to miss any of her humorous (often LOL) observations about things, people and life in general.

This is historical mystery, not romance, and has lots of insight into the politics, culture and social conditions of the late Victorian era. If you're fond of romance you have to be a very patient romance reader. There's a budding relationship between India and French, but it's going really, really slowly. However, if you consider that the first book takes place in the winter of 1876 and this third one takes place in the spring of 1877, it's a very realistic time frame for romance to develop between two people from two very different walks of life.

What I really love about this third book is that we get lots more info about the mysterious, handsome British agent French. And India's past and parentage is slowly being uncovered. All good stuff.
