What this book is about

Olivia Bevelstoke has heard a rumor that Harry Valentine might be a murderer. Harry, a former spy, can see right into her room from his window—and finds her surveillance attempts more entertaining than alarming. What Happens in London is Quinn's most overtly comedic book, with a will-they-won't-they spy-adjacent plot.
