 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.

Review

A Scheming in Parliament is the second book I have read written by Erica Vetsch, and I look forward to reading more. This is book two of the Of Cloaks & Dangers series, and I would definitely recommend reading them in order. I loved being back with Philippa and Bertie on another adventure to uncover a dangerous plot in parliament. It was like watching one of those BBC murder mystery series.

I loved being back with Philippa and Bertie for a second time. Watching them develop even more as characters. Bertie is not a politician, but he has been elected to parliament as part of his undercover work. While doing his work, he gets invited to the Theban Club, which is a secret club with some weird Egyptian vibes and some secrets that Bertie unearths. Philippa is still working with the Elios school to rescue women from prostitution. She is doing the work when she accidentally opens Aunt Dolly’s letter and unearths a secret.

The romance is a slow-burning romance. When I say slow, I mean slow, and that is perfectly ok with me. I am excited to see what might come of this relationship in book three.

Erica Vetsch did a fantastic job of intertwining faith throughout the book. It was a great reminder that our past does not define us. God is a good of forgiveness, and he wants a relationship with all of us.
