Murder In The Afternoon by Frances Brody

Murder In The Afternoon by Frances Brody

The third fantastically quirky crime novel set in 1920s Yorkshire and starring amateur sleuth Kate Shackleton.

Frances Brody succeeds brilliantly. . Her post-war world in which making any sort of living is hard grind and where an independent career woman is viewed with hostility is entirely convincing. Kate is a heroine to like and admire. . . Her further adventures are eagerly awaited * The Daily Mail *
Brody's excellent mystery splendidly captures the conflicts and attitudes of the time with well-developed characters * RT Book Reviews *
Reminiscent of the Golden Age mysteries, Murder in the Afternoon delivers an excellent whodunit, an atmospheric period piece, a snapshot of a bygone England and, in Kate, an appealing heroine wtih a complex past * Richmond Times Dispatch *
