This is definitely a worthwhile read-and a fast one I might add! A murder mystery perfect for when you have an hour or so to cuddle up and enjoy a good story. The time frame is just after WWII when women were not supposed to be much more then nurses, teachers etc. Our heroine, Alexie, is a private investigator who is not doing too well mainly because she is a female. Then in walks an old classmate from high school who wants her to find the missing husband, Frank and "Daisy" who is assumed to be a child. Of course the fact that this "old friend" wants this husband killed does not sit too well--but heck--she needs the money and figures maybe she can warn Frank and stop the death from occurring. And she is worried about the child who has been abducted by her father. So off to England she goes (Frank's last known whereabouts). Of course you know Scotland Yard is going to get involved along with one of their detectives who is fast falling for our PI and is determined to keep her safe. As in any good old fashioned story based in England there is the resident ghost----------Not all turns out the way you might think it will and there is just enough comic relief to make me give this a 5 star rating! This is the first in a series.
