It’s 1920, and famous American adventurer Beryl thinks it’s high time for a break from her hectic life—and, since America has just passed Prohibition, she’s got a hankering for a sojourn abroad. How fortuitous, then, that her old school-chum Edwina, down on her luck with the postwar economic slump, needs a lodger at her home in a tiny English village. Different as night and day, the outlandish Beryl and genteel Edwina make a dynamic duo, especially when they wind up working together to chase a murderer! With an unpredictable and fast-paced plot, this debut historical mystery is a delightful introduction to a charming pair of amateur sleuths!
