Summary
Review by Donna F, Reviewer, Mar 24 2024
"A Noble Scheme," the second installment in "The Imposters Series" by Roseanna White, takes readers on a riveting journey through Edwardian England, where a clandestine team of private investigators, known as The Imposters, operates in secrecy. The team infiltrates high society events under disguises to gather intelligence. This story although still action packed is much more emotional and at times heartbreaking than the first one. I don’t want to share too much because there were several surprises that I want you to experience for yourself.
As Gemma and her colleagues embark on solving the heart-wrenching case of a missing child, she finds herself reluctantly partnered with Graham Wharton, a former romantic interest with whom she shares a complicated past. If you read book one you picked up on serious conflict between the two of them. The intricacies of their relationship unfold amidst the backdrop of a captivating mystery, adding layers of suspense and emotion to the narrative.
While the central mystery keeps readers engaged with its twists and turns, the slow-burn romance between Gemma and Graham adds depth to the storyline. Their unresolved history simmers beneath the surface, gradually revealed throughout the book, contributing to the overall sense of intrigue.
The ensemble cast of characters, including members of The Imposters, showcases their camaraderie and trust amidst tensions and challenges. The author did a great job showing how each member brings their own strengths to the team.
Themes of grief, loss, forgiveness, and second chances are skillfully woven into the narrative, offering poignant reflections on human emotions and relationships. The author's exploration of these themes adds richness and depth to the story, resonating with readers on a profound level.
I recommend A Noble Scheme (I haven't read a book by Roseanna White yet that I would not recommend) with the warning it will tug at your heartstrings but has a satisfying ending. Now we wait for the next book! I cannot wait to see who she teams Yates with!!
