Mapp and Lucia and the Affair Viennese: Further Adventures of Mapp and Lucia by Scott Mitchell

On the eve of the Great War, Elizabeth Mapp and Emmeline Lucas (Lucia to one and all) are called to service for King and Country. Recruited by a dear old college chum of Georgie Pilson, Mapp and Lucia are tasked to gather information from the Court of the Hapsburgs in Vienna. Can these two women put aside their differences long enough to solve an international mystery? Or will their unyielding attitudes and competitive nature cause a diplomatic incident?
Scott Mitchell takes the characters from E. F. Benson’s delightful Lucia series and throws them into greater waters – where they succeed and fail with humor, charm and style..
