⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Phillip Carruthers is a privateer with letters of marque from Queen Victoria. He has been sent to the South China Sea to retrieve something that was stolen from Buckingham Palace. When he finally tracks it down he has no idea the trouble both treasures he funds will bring him.
Miss Beryl Anglesey is the daughter of a diplomat who has been kidnapped by Chinese pirates. That is just the start of her adventures.
A wonderful swashbuckling adventure with excitement and humour. Fabulous characters that I fell in love with immediately, especially Leo the true hero. From the far East to the ballrooms of London a pirate is happy in any setting.
I loved it.
