    About this audiobook

    It's Gerald Dunwoody's first official government assignment. He's hunting down a deadly saboteur, and time is quickly running out. Old and new enemies combine forces to thwart him. Once again, innocent lives are on the line. He needs his friends. He can't do this alone.

    But Princess Melissande and Reg have troubles of their own. With the help of Monk Markham's brilliant, beautiful sister, they've opened a one-stop-shop witching locum agency, where magical problems are solved for a price. Problem is, the girls are struggling to keep the business afloat. Things are looking grim for Witches Incorporated-and that's before they accidentally cross paths with Gerald's saboteur.

    Suddenly everybody's lives are on the line and Gerald realizes, too late, that there's a reason government agents aren't supposed to have friends.

      The second book in the Rogue Agent series is another fun romp. I have a special fondness for books that can make me smile. The last thing I want to do is spend my free time reading a book that is just as dark and depressing as reality and the Rogue Agent books certainly are not. In this tale, Mellisande, princess and former prime minister of a tiny colonial kingdom, is now living in the mother country. There she establishes a kind of witch-powered detective agency with her boyfriend’s sister, who is both gorgeous and magically talented. They have been hired to uncover the identity of the person pilfering biscuits and sugar cubes in an office building. While attempting to unmask this dastardly miscreant, they stumble into the middle of a government investigation into a far more complicated and deadly affair involving terrorism and espionage.
      I quite enjoyed this book although it could possibly have benefited from another round of editing and minor revision. Some scenes feel drawn out and there are places where the reactions of the characters do not seem to fit the situation. About a hundred pages could, and probably should have been cut in the final version. I did not find these flaws overly distracting though and I still recommend it.
    • 4/5
      In a nutshell, this book is cute. We have a secret agent wizard who's first assignment is to work undercover for a corrupt business, two friends who start a witching agency (one's a princess) and a talking bird.The plot makes sense, if at times a bit clumsy. The characters are rather stereotypical - absent minded scientist, un-princess like princess, bumbling hero who doesn't so much screw up as seem to attract trouble. Even the secret agency is fairly standard.Where the book shines is that it manages to take the standard tropes and do something a bit different. Gerald actually makes the correct choice - is honest with his friends and employers. While he doesn't ask for help, he will accept it when it makes sense to.Its a good lazy day book - not much in substance, but it is fun.
    • 5/5
      I'm zipping through this fantasy series. At times, reminds me a little of Terry Pratchett, in that there's some good absurdity and snarky dialogue with the wizards. Excellent adventures, as well.

      Gerald has survived his first adventures and now is in a secret government agency. He's hunting a deadly saboteur, trying his best to appear harmless and he would love to have his friends helping him. Princess Melissande and Reg the bird from the previous story are working with Monk Markham's sister Bibbie in a witching locum agency. They're not being very successful until they get caught up in a baking competition. They're helped by their social status. When they uncover the truth in the competition they then get asked to investigate more for their employer. This drags them into the same company as Gerald and suddenly they have to investigate things together. Gerald has to combine his job with keeping his friends safe and believing that his friends can help him.It took a while to get into the stride of this story, and it whizzed past as the story came to it's conclusion, I really want to read more in this series. Melissande is a great character and she really comes across as mostly self-reliant but willing to let others help, particularly if she lacks the skills. Gerald has to deal with his conscience a lot and makes hard decisions of the right reasons.
    • 4/5
      A very fun, fairly light read. While the main characters' bickering occasionally got a bit tedious, it's usually entertaining and occasionally really funny- plus, it's a nice contrast to some books, like Novik's dragon series, in which no one ever bickers at all. I found this one better than the first in the serious because the tone was more consistent; in the first one, a swerve into Very Serious happened abruptly, and I found it disconcerting.

      Six months after the devastating events in New Ottosland, Gerald Dunwoody has reached the end of training as a thaumaturgical janitor. His first assignment should be simple, just a watching brief. Meanwhile, Princess Melissande and her partners, Bibbie Markham and Reg the queen-turned-immortal-bird, are finding it hard going with their new witches' agency. Then a job unmasking a crooked cook begets a job unmasking a thief. The two investigations intertwine, and things get Interesting. In the unfortunate sense.Not medievaloid for once, but Victorianesque. A fun read, somewhat less grim than the first one in the series.
    • 4/5
      This book is less fun than its predecessor as the drive for emancipation of women (something I agree with) takes over to the point it becomes strident. There is, most definitely, a way to go on this issue, more in some countries than others, and using fiction to highlight it and hopefully induce change is a worthwhile thing, but there has to be a balance point.This book, for my mind and my culture, goes that bit too far.There is, under the polemic, a fun story. It's not particularly a good one; in fact many of the so-called twists are rather predictable, but it is quite good fun and there are a few lovely bits that make it worth reading overall.
    • 3/5
      This is a sequel to The Apprentice Wizard which I liked. This one was good too, but in an odd way. I was in the mood for a light book, which this was, sort of. The style and dialogue and even the plot tends to be light, but the reactions of the characters is not. It is like watching James Bond and then having all the spies agonize over the killing. It throws you out of the story and makes you see that all the violence is bad and a normal person couldn't jump into being a spy without some deep soul searching and regrets. It was handled well, not over the top and preachy, nor tear laden and melodramatic, just sincere.So here we have a light spy/fantasy book with some deep morality issues. I can't decide if I liked the book because of this, or in spite of it.I like the setting as well. Fantasy books have really started to branch out in the last few years, no more strictly medieval castles. This one is set in a sort of Edwardian period, lots of rules yet an awareness that maybe the rules should be changed. This time was the real era of suffragettes and progressive government as well as lots of new scientific discoveries. Mills got the feel of the era down well, and then put magic in.I am interested in where the series is going and what she will do with the characters now she has them all working together.
