The Garden Intrigue / Lauren Willig / 388 pages
This is another interesting spy book set in the Napoleonic era. This time, Augustus Whittlesby is finally sick of being an awful poet when he is first lovesick over Jane (pink carnation) and then Emma, an American living in Paris. He is always fun to read about and will be missed in the series. The plot brings in Robert Fulton who is not only the inventor of the steam engine, but apparently also inventor of a beta version of a submarine. It's a neat plot including real characters Fulton, Napoleon, Josephine, and Hortense as well as fictional Emma and Augustus.
