Turmoil on the Thames: A Light-Hearted Regency Fantasy

By Marissa Doyle

Eton, or eaten? This picnic is turning out to be no picnic...

Annabel and her parents are off to Eton to join her sons for the students’ annual celebration of the King’s birthday, observed with boat races on the Thames, fireworks, and a picnic by the river—which the boys seem to be especially looking forward to, considering the number of cakes and sandwiches they’ve begged Annabel to bring.

She’s secretly pleased when they’re joined unexpectedly by the Marquis of Quinceton—but much less happy when some less-welcome unexpected guests threaten to turn the party into a funeral. Thanks to a platter of pastries and some quick thinking by the marquis, tragedy is averted...but the Ladies of Almack’s are concerned by what happened on the river, and why...

Turmoil on the Thames is the fifth installment of The Ladies of Almack’s series by Marissa Doyle.

Marissa Doyle

Marissa Doyle graduated from Bryn Mawr College and went on to graduate school intending to be an archaeologist but somehow got distracted. After working in a nursing home, in fundraising, and as a stay-at-home mom, she finally figured out what it was she really should be doing (apart from the mom part), and started writing a romance novel. Three books later a perceptive contest judge told her that her story would make a great young adult book, and she hasn’t looked back since.Her young adult books Bewitching Season, Betraying Season, and Courtship and Curses, all from Henry Holt Books for Young Readers/Macmillan, blend history (remember that archaeology background?) with a dash of magic and a heaping tablespoon of romance, and have won multiple awards and recognition in both the romance and children’s literature worlds. She lives in her native Massachusetts with her family, including a bossy pet rabbit, and loves making quilts, sailing, and antiques.Please visit her at her website, www.marissadoyle.com, and at NineteenTeen http://nineteenteen.com.

Reviews for Turmoil on the Thames

[Sheena Gurbakhash · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Singularly annoying that the author set up a mystery and then didn't bother to resolve it AT ALL. This is barely more than a snippet with hopefully the rest to come in the next book.
