Series: Of Cloaks & Daggers #2
Author: Erica Vetsch
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: August 26, 2025
Genre: Regency Mystery Romance
Evil is masquerading in the halls of Parliament, and Sir Bertrand Thorndike is tasked with investigating from the inside. With his new position as a member of the House of Commons, he has access to the power brokers of English government. His tactic is to listen and learn, careful not to reveal his true motives, and he's quickly inducted into the mysterious Theban Club.
Miss Philippa Cashel's mission, the Princess Charlotte Eleos School for Women in Need, is thriving with donations, and the students are learning skills to help them earn their livings in honorable ways. But when a dear friend's past is revealed by blackmail, Philippa must wrestle with the question, Is it ever right to do the wrong thing?
Bertie's and Philippa's missions collide when Bertie uncovers a dangerous plot involving vulnerable women. He and Philippa join forces against the corruption threatening to topple England's government, all while navigating their outward reputations and inward feelings for each other.

Historical Fiction, Mystery and the Regency era genre all in one book. A Scheming in Parliament by Erica Vetsch is Book 2 in the Of Cloaks & Daggers series. I read Book 1 in this series and I am excited to have read this book also.
The series and the characters really get more interesting in Book 2. The story picks up where Book 1 left off. The 2 main characters of this book are Philippa and Bertie. Bertie has been given a new role as a member of the House of Commons. Philippa's mission at Princess Charlotte Eleos School, is going great and she loves her work there. The storyline gets really interesting when Philippa discovers a letter that is very revealing of a friends past. Bertie was never a political person, but his new position requires Political Knowledge. He immerses himself in his new position and holds on to his investigating skills. The mystery and suspense really comes into play when Bertie and Philippa work together on a case that pits English Government against Women who are vulnerable. They begin to realize that they are begin to have feelings for one another as they work together. I am excited for this budding Romance and look forward to see how it plays out in future books! The book is filled with Mystery, Suspense and Faith. The twists and turns and mystery in Book 2 kept me at the edge of my seat. . I HIGHLY Recommend this to anyone who likes Historical Christian Fiction and Mystery. I am looking forward to future books in this series. I do recommend reading Book 1 before Book 2 so you can grasp the storyline and know the characters better. AMAZING BOOK!
