A Spy in the House by Y. S. Lee
A Mary Quinn Mystery, this is Book One of The Agency trilogy.
Twelve year old orphan Mary Quinn was sentenced to hang for house thieving, but an unusual set of circumstances took her from the gallows to a private school for girls. After five years of hard work at the school, Mary finds herself being invited to join an investigative agency and then from there to being a lady’s companion in a rich merchant’s home in London where everyone has a secret. This one was hard to put down, I look forward to Book Two in the trilogy. (Teen, ages 12 and up)
