1901: Montmorency and his friends are devastated by recent events, but new dramas force them to keep on the move. Identities are fragile and emotions high in the fourth installment of the Montmorency adventures, which whisks real and fictional events into a frenzy of excitement. This is the fourth book in the Montmorency series.

Eleanor Updale studied history at St. Anne’s College in Oxford, England, before becoming a producer of TV and radio current affairs programs for the BBC. She is studying for a Ph.D. at the new Centre for Editing Lives and Letters at Queen Mary College, University of London. She is also a trustee of the charity Listening Books. She lives in England. Montmorency is her first book.
As in its predecessor, Montmorency and the Assassin (2006), this title—the fourth in a YA series unusual for its mostly adult cast—has diffused its focus from Montmorency himself (now a respectable gentleman and father of a teenage son) to a sprawling network of characters linked by grief over an anarchist's murder of George Fox-Selwyn. The friends pursue revenge on many fronts, European and American, with codes and other spycraft adding special appeal to this installment. The intricate backstory and large cast make this plot-driven adventure unsuitable for newcomers, but readers captivated by previous entries' supply of "that cloak-and-dagger stuff" will find more of the same here. Mattson, Jennifer
