Description
Covent Garden, January 1708. A coffee house inheritance sets off a chain of events that draws Widow Trotter into a complex web of intrigue. Queen Anne's government is embroiled in scandal and conspiracy, with the treasonous satirist "Bufo" at its centre. As tensions escalate, Mary Trotter finds herself racing against time to unravel the political plots, solve two murders, and prevent further violence. With her young friends Tom and Will by her side, she navigates the treacherous landscape of 18th-century London, from the brothels of Drury Lane to the Court of St James's. A gripping mystery that spans the tumultuous years of Queen Anne's reign, Chocolate House Treason is a tale of loyalty, deception, and survival in a city on the brink of chaos.
