It's 1910, and Merinda Herringford fancies herself a female Sherlock Holmes—and her best friend Jemima Watts her very own Watson! In The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder (UM6912), when bodies of local women turn up in properties funded by Toronto mayor Tertius Montague, Merinda has a veritable laundry list of suspects—the topmost being, of course, Mayor Montague himself. Determined to do whatever it takes—including dressing in men's clothes and dodging Montague's "Morality Squad"—the lady detectives must unmask the killer before one of them becomes the next target! In A Lesson in Love and Murder, streetcar explosions and the arrival of a rather dashing Mountie complicate things for Jem and Merinda, and lead them from their familiar Toronto streets to the urban sprawl of Chicago. Fun and charming, with plenty of wit and a dash of romance, the Herringford and Watts Mysteries are sure to please! (SM)
