Description
Jane Menczer’s debut historical mystery set in London, 1905. Margaret Trant lives with her ailing, irascible mother in a dreary boarding house in St John’s Wood and have fallen on hard times. When a stranger on the tram hands her a newspaper open at the recruitment page, Margaret spots an advertisement that promises to ‘open new horizons beyond your wildest dreams!’. Margaret’s guilty love of detective fiction scarcely prepares her for the reality of true criminality, and her journey of self-discovery.
