Set in London society in 1936, Sarah Sigal’s The Socialite Spy in Pursuit of a King delivers exactly what its alluring title suggests — a stylish, suspenseful story of espionage with right royal connections.

Modern gal about town Lady Pamela More, a dedicated socialite and journalist, is known for her ‘Agent of Influence’ column — a “combination of fashion editorial, social observation and gossip”. Signing off her articles, “Lady Pamela, Your Agent of Influence”, she jokes “she was like a sartorial spy, reporting back on what women were buying, sporting and coveting, as well as being a subtle but artful influence on her readers”. 

After interviewing Wallis Simpson, mistress of the newly-crowned king, Lady Pamela finds herself shifting from “sartorial spy” to the real deal when MI5 task her with investigating Edward and Mrs Simpson’s links to Nazi Germany. Though her connections and keen observational skills mean Lady Pamela is well-suited to the task, with Europe in turmoil, this assignment is no high society ball or fashion show. It’s fair to say Lady Pamela’s wry, dry wit and one-of-a-kind thought processes and approach to her mission make for an entertaining spy story with added character.
