A ver si este mes es menos estresante que el pasado. Si tuviera poderes videntes lo sabría, aunque no estoy segura de que me ayudara saber de antemano la tragedia que me esté esperando XD. En fin, hoy me uno a la presentación de MISTRESS OF FORTUNE, de Holly West. Combina misterio, thriller y espionaje en un marco histórico. Tras la fachada de una pitonisa, Isabel espía a la nobleza durante el reinado de Carlos II de Inglaterra. Accidentalmente, se topa con una conspiración para derrocar al rey y su vida, junto a los secretos de su diario, está en la mira de un peligroso adversario.

London, 1678
Isabel, Lady Wilde, a mistress to King Charles II, has a secret: she makes her living disguised as Mistress Ruby, a fortune-teller who caters to London’s elite. It’s a dangerous life among the charlatans, rogues and swindlers who lurk in the city’s dark corners, but to Isabel, the risk is worth the reward.
Until magistrate Sir Edmund Godfrey seeks Mistress Ruby’s counsel and reveals his unwitting involvement in a plot to kill the king. When Isabel’s diary containing dangerous details of his confession is stolen, she knows she must find it before anyone connects her to Mistress Ruby. Especially after Sir Edmund’s corpse is discovered a few days later…
Isabel is sure that whoever stole her diary is Sir Edmund’s killer–and could be part of a conspiracy that leads all the way to the throne. But as she delves deeper into the mystery, not even the king himself may be able to save her.
Holly West writes the Mistress of Fortune series, featuring amateur sleuth Isabel Wilde, a mistress to King Charles II who secretly makes her living as a fortuneteller. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Mick, and dog, Stella. More info at hollywest.com
