London’s best and most covert spy tries to escape the man who has always adored her.

New York Times best-selling author Gail Carriger brings you a charming story of enduring love set in her popular Parasolverse, narrated by Emma Newman.

Intelligencer

Agatha Woosmoss, the Wallflower, is the greatest intelligencer of her generation. And no one knows she exists. She has been invisible, capable, and cunning for well over four decades. Her greatest skill is in her ability to go forever unnoticed. Except by one man.

Versus Intellectual

Pillover Plumleigh-Teignmott is a professor of ancient languages at Oxford University. He’s tried to ignore his training as an evil genius and live a quiet life away from politics and intrigue.

When an assignment goes horribly wrong, Agatha must hide and heal. So she goes to ground with the only person who’s always kept her safe: Pillover.

Can Pillover hold on to the deadly woman who specializes in getting away? Will Agatha realize that patience is indeed a virtue, and that perhaps it is good to be noticed by the one who waits?

Spinning off from Miss Gail’s Finishing School series, this story stands on its own and spans decades, but was written after Defy or Defend. May contain vampires, old injuries, lost love, and the reappearance of many favorite characters. If you like gruff but caring men with secret sorrows and the tough smart women they love, you’ll also enjoy How to Marry a Werewolf, also narrated by Emma.

it's a little different from the others, but it's a different type of story. Absolutely loved it.

slow burn and left me with tears in the end

This is one of mu favourite books from this wonderful auther's pen. Maybe because it is written quite differantly, or just that I simply addor Agath and Pil as a couple.
I have to admit to quite a few moist eyes and a sniff or 3 too.

A sudden audiobook allergy 😉

Another fun Gail Carriger story! Enjoyed Pil and Aggert's story. Expert narration brought all the right emotion to the tale.

Love the story and the narrator.

Pillover and Agatha live long and interesting lives, apart and together. These unlikely favorite characters from my absolute favorite Carriger series, Finishing School, are well-drawn and believable in their finer details, and their story hits more personality notes that I can identify with than the more heroic Sophronia, for instance. Their desires and fears are less dramatic, but more relatable. I really enjoyed finding out what happened to them.

Two of my favorite people

I’ve been a fan since Soulless and, although that series remains my favorite, I have carried on exploring this universe. I recommend this author to anyone who has need of a whimsical perspective on the very real workings of human nature, no matter how ridiculous it all may seem. Or that the characters themselves may not actually be human!

This book in particular seems very well written to me. It feeds my ongoing interest in the inhabitants of this world I’ve come to know, and delivers a poignant love story. I enjoyed it.

Real talk in a fairy tale

If you like slow burns - this is for you! At first I thought it was just a single flash back, so was confused when it continued being flashbacks. But my goodness once I had that figured out I felt like I was falling in love with their love. This felt most unlike the other books in the series, but I think one I will certainly listen to again and again just for the truly romantic love story.

Remarkably my favorite romance

I love reading the backstories of back scene characters! Miss Carriger does not disappoint. It is not as all encompassing as the primary books, but having a fresh take on old favorites still manages to satisfy the longing for tea and espionage.

Parasol proclivities prolonged

This is not like the two previous novellas in the series; it isn’t full of action and humor and ridiculous situations. This is the slowest of romances, alternately cozy and tragic, and sometimes both at once. Ultimately, it is worth it, for characters and readers alike.

Save this until you’ve finished all the other books in the 5 series in this time line, and savor it. Or listen to it on your commute and blame your reddened eyes on allergies, as I did.

5 handkerchiefs, but in a good way

Narrator, please listen to the other books and get into the mood of the stories! Learn about how the names work! I’ve been waiting for this book for ages and you’ve wrecked it! I will be returning it (sorry Gail)

Someone needs to tell the narrator how to pronounce names. It’s very rattling and jarring to hear them pronounced so horribly!

So sweetly sad but satisfying. Have tissues handy at he end. For maximum reader enjoyment, this is not really a stand-alone.; it's best read in Ms. Carriger's written order and please complete the"Finishing School" series before you read this book.
Emma Newman does a lovely job narrating. She has read all of the Delightfully Deadlies so it's odd to see griping for this latest one. Name pronunciation is an issue when changing narrators in every single audiobook series I've listened to, especially those that have a world built which contains several intertwining series over many years. It is jarring at first, but please don't disparage the narrators. Choose to use context clues to clear up any confusion.
My 2 cents: This is a production issue; not a performance one.The actors should all be given a phonetic list of names and places as the author intends them to be pronounced to provide continuity for listeners. In audiobooks, these discrepancies correspond to changing the spelling of names and places in every new print volume in a series. Someone should have figured out by now that there are fundamental differences between audio and print and acted accordingly.
