In the trying art of balancing investigations and love, a detective must determine his priorities when faced with dangerous circumstances that could threaten everything he holds dear. As the leader of the Imposters, an elite private investigative firm, Lord Yates Fairfax has made an art of concealing his identity. But when his newest client, the beautiful Lady Alethia Barremore, is shot while leaving their meeting, he throws caution to the wind and rushes to her aid. Though Lady Alethia thought she was only looking for her missing former nanny, she has clearly stumbled upon something much more dangerous. Lady Lavinia Hemming suspects her longtime friends hold more secrets than they're willing to admit, and when she stumbles upon the truth that they're the esteemed Imposters, she recruits herself into the firm. While she is happy for the distraction of an investigation, Lavinia's own family secrets continue to haunt her. And the one thing bringing laughter back into her life--her friendship with Yates--lands her squarely on the disagreeable side of her best friend: his sister. Tormented by a past she doesn't dare voice aloud, Lady Alethia does what she can to help her handsome host, her new friends, and the investigators. But as clues lead them deeper into the dark side of society, Alethia, Yates, and Lavinia learn anew that the gentry isn't always noble . . . even as they fight to hold fast to their own honor. "With characters believable and unique, and a pace that builds suspense as the story unfolds, each thread is so compelling I couldn't stop turning pages."--LORI BENTON, bestselling author on A Noble Scheme

In An Honorable Deception Roseanna M. White tackles a difficult theme, the purpose of pain and suffering, with tenderness and great insight. Through the sorrows of Lady Lavinia and Lady Alethia, and how they each handle them, White demonstrates in which manner one is drawn closer to Christ, and in which one is left feeling isolated and alone. This theme sets a tone for the book that is a bit more serious than the first two books in the series as the case the Imposters have taken on is very dark and the victims are victimized to a greater degree. Readers are encouraged by how shining light into the dark corners can bring both justice and restoration. In classic Roseanna M. White style, the weight of this story is occasionally relieved by the lighthearted acts and banter among the Imposters.
I highly encourage readers to read The Imposters series in order to achieve the greatest enjoyment of this marvelous series. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of An Honorable Deception from Bethany House via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
