Review:
Readers sensing a story-within-a-story won't be disappointed. But first, they must prepare to be astonished at the sensitivity and wisdom with which Maisie resolves her first professional assignment (New York Times)
A fine new sleuth for the twenty-first century. Simultaneously self-reliant and vulnerable, Maisie isn't a character I'll easily forget (Elizabeth George)
The book is much more than a cosy mystery - it is also about women's growing emancipation and the profound changes to society after the First World War. (Mail on Sunday's You)

A very fine and unread copy in a very fine dust jacket, now in a clear removable protective cover. The author's first mystery. A great read.

Jacket blurbs by Elizabeth George, Charles Todd, and the Library Journal, which gave the book a starred review. Winner of the Agatha Award, and Edgar Award finalist.
