My Wicked Little Lies is the second book in Victoria Alexander's Sinful Family Secret's series. Evelyn Hadley-Attwater appears to 'have it all'; the loving husband, wealth, ball gowns and ever-so-elegant parties. This wasn't always the case, though. Eve was once a spy for the crown of England and she wants desperately to keep that secret from her husband.
Adrian Hadley-Attwater has secrets of his own that he is doing his best to keep from his wife. The main one being that he was also a spy; and in fact, he was Eve's anonymous boss during their spy days.
This is a very funny book filled with adventure, a bit of spying and a fair amount of misunderstanding between the married couple. As Eve and Adrian find the clues to answer the mystery surrounding them - they realize just how much they mean to one another. They also come to understand that full disclosure is probably a necessity for their marriage to continue in a trust-worthy fashion.
I quite enjoyed Ms. Alexander's novel and liked that the couple was married. My only complaint, and it's a small one, is that all of Victoria Alexander's characters (in this book and previous ones that I've read) 'choose their words with care'. It's a phrase that she over uses to the point of being farcical; fortunately, it doesn't detract from her story telling.
