England Expects by Sara Sheridan

England Expects by Sara Sheridan

Dangers abound in 1950s Brighton as former Secret Service operative Mirabelle Bevan cuts to the chase to solve multiple murders . . .

When sportswriter Joey Gillingham stops off at a Brighton barbershop for a shave and a trim, he gets more than he bargained for--a slashed throat. With the ghastly murder the talk of the seaside town, Mirabelle and her close friend and coworker Vesta Churchill find themselves irresistibly drawn to the case. Rumors of the newspaperman being a member of the freemasons lead the ladies to the group's local lodge, where they happen upon a cleaning woman in the throes of poisoning.

Despite being warned off by Superintendent McGregor, the fearless friends continue to investigate, breaking into an abandoned royal residence in Brighton and following a trail of clues to a Cambridge college and bizarre masonic rituals. With desperate characters and more bodies turning up, Mirabelle and Vesta will need to walk the razor's edge to stay alive long enough to stop the killing . . .
