The Little Lady Agency is part of my new favorite subgenre: chick lit books set in England. I watch a lot of British TV shows, so I understand the differences in word usage and can almost hear the accent as I'm reading. These books satisfy my appetite for British stories between seasons of shows like Doctor Who.

This was a fun story where the main character Melissa takes advantage of her best assets early on. Browne does a good job of maintaining the suspense as far as which guy Melissa is going to end up with. I don't quite understand why Melissa puts up with her boorish father, but that is a failing of mine and not the author; I've never understood why people put up with mean relatives, even parents.

I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series and following more of Melissa's adventures.
