Curtsies & Conspiracies/Gail Carriger/310 pgs./December challenge--Turtle Doves

This is the second entry in Gail Carriger's Finishing School series. Sophronia continues her lessons at the Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality--learning to be a spy, what poisons are most effective in different circumstances, while also learning the art of being a "lady." In this "adventure," Sophronia ultimately tries to discover who is trying to kidnap her good friend Dimity, and Dimity's brother, Pillover. There is much intermingling with some of the boys from the School of Evil Geniuses--which just adds to some of the humor in the story. All of this takes place in an alternate Victorian England--so entertaining! I can't wait for the next installment!
