In Victorian London, India Black has all the attributes a high-class madam needs to run a successful brothel--wit, beauty, and an ability to lie with a smile. Luckily for Her Majesty's Government, all these talents also make her a first-rate spy...
India Black, full-time madam and occasional secret agent, is feeling restless, when one of Disraeli's men calls on her to meet the prime minister--alone. Even though all her previous meetings have been organized by the rakishly handsome spy French, it's been decided this is a mission India must attempt on her own.
Revolt has spread across Europe and reached the shores of England--anarchists have begun assassinating lords and earls, one by one. Now India must infiltrate the ranks of the underground group responsible for those attacks, the sinister Dark Legion. To stop their dread plot, India will go from the murkiest slums of London to the highest levels of society, uncovering secrets that threaten her very existence...

(4.5 stars) The best one yet. When's the next one out?
By OLT
India Black, brothel madam-cum-British spy is on to her third adventure, after India Black (A Madam of Espionage Mystery) and India Black and the Widow of Windsor (A Madam of Espionage Mystery). (A nice little extra novella, India Black and the Rajah's Ruby (A MADAM OF ESPIONAGE MYSTERY), is also available and gives readers the background on how India came to be the owner of her very own brothel.)
In this one India's mission for Prime Minister Disraeli is to infiltrate an anarchist cell, the Dark Legion. Anarchy in the late 1800s was strong in England, emboldened by the dissatisfaction of the oppressed worker class and their resentment of the priviledged upper class. Government officials and lords alike were afraid for their lives, with all-too-frequent bombings and other attacks even hurting innocent people. India begins her assignment solo this time. French, the British spy who recruited her in the first book, is off, mysteriously, somewhere else.
That's all I'll say about the plot but I enjoyed this book even more than the previous ones. India is in full humorous, snarky, cynical mode and the story is from her unique POV and written in the first person. Some people are not fond of first person POV narrative but it really works here, given India's really funny, saucy, take-charge, no-nonsense attitude. She's smart and resourceful and has her head on straight, seeing the bad and good in everyone, but mostly expecting the bad. You need to read this without skipping or skimming because you won't want to miss any of her humorous (often LOL) observations about things, people and life in general.
This is historical mystery, not romance, and has lots of insight into the politics, culture and social conditions of the late Victorian era. If you're fond of romance you have to be a very patient romance reader. There's a budding relationship between India and French, but it's going really, really slowly. However, if you consider that the first book takes place in the winter of 1876 and this third one takes place in the spring of 1877, it's a very realistic time frame for romance to develop between two people from two very different walks of life.
What I really love about this third book is that we get lots more info about the mysterious, handsome British agent French. And India's past and parentage is slowly being uncovered. All good stuff.

Oh boy. What fun!
By Esther Schindler
You initially might not think a madam in a Victorian brothel is a workable heroine for a spy novel. But, as Carol K. Carr has demonstrated in her two earlier India Black novels, it's impossible to resist the intelligent, smartass character of India -- or the deft way that the author imparts a tale full of history-based intrigue.
In this novel, the government comes directly to India to ask her to infiltrate those nasty anarchists. The anarchists, on the run from their own lands (like Russia or France), recently have had the gall to knock off several highly-placed Englishmen, and that simply won't DO. As the prime minister and his henchmen have discovered, one of the connections to the anarchists is a prostitute at a rival brothel, and the gummint wants India to acquire the young woman, her knowledge, and her contacts. And that's just the beginning.
That easily could be done as a serious, even a depressing story. But it's a _funny_ book, because India is clever and snarky and the story is told in rather a light manner. The "mystery" is excellent; I never guessed what would happen next. Mostly, the writing is fabulous, imparting both character and attitude (OH BOY does she have attitude!): "[Character] charged through my study door like a Jersey cow whose calf I had taken for weaning. She was a stowt old bawd, with a Falstaffian girth and a course grey mustache fit for a sergeant major." Or "...I had spent my youth dodging predators through the streets of London and French [her spying partner whom we met in other books] had spent his sitting in some drab schoolroom with other little poncy bastards, conjugating Latin verbs."
(For those who are bothered by the setting in a brothel, I note that there's no actual sex shown, just intimated -- that the whores are paired off with the gents for the night, for example, or India admiring a fetching young man whom she thinks might be fun to get together with for an evening.)
I started reading the book and... well, I didn't do a whole lot else with my free time until I finished. This book is wonderful fun reading. It _could_ stand alone, but do yourself a favor and start with the first one, India Black. You won't be sorry.

India Black Takes Charge
By F. Yoder
This is the third book in the wonderful A Madam Of Espionage Mystery series.
India Black is the madam of a high-class brothel in Victorian England, but is also a secret agent, along with French, for Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.
In this book India get to showcase her prowess at being a secret agent. P.M. Disraeli summons India to his office, to meet with him and Superintendent Stoke of Scotland Yard. Anarchists are running rampant in London killing off lords and earls at will. They want India to infiltrate the Dark Legion, to determine who the leader is, and put a stop to the killings.
French is off on another mission for the PM so it all up to India to handle this matter. Stoke tells India a prostitute that works in Seven Dials might be able provide some information about who the members are. Being a little devious, India is able to convince the girl to come work for her, hoping the girl will be able to provide information needed to infiltrate the Dark Legion. India get a foothold in the legion and it helping plan further subversive events. Just when India is due to meet some the higher people in the Legion, French appears and with his help, India and French are able to break the Legion.
I am very happy to see that India was able to take the lead in this book. Hopefully in future books, she will also be able to take the lead, just to keep in the back of French's mind that she is capable of taking the lead.
I'm looking forward to the next book in this series and to see if there is a chance of India and French teaming up in more than their spying.
