Jane Austen meets Sherlock Holmes in this delightful mystery of manners that will steal your heart and transport you to the Victorian seaside.
Hannah Dolby's second novel is as warm, witty and wonderful as her firstViolet is the perfect blend of determination, innocence and cheekiness. I'd definitely want her services if I had a crime that needed investigating -- Kathleen Whyman
The unstoppable Violet does it again! Unperturbed by social graces, murder and even baby goats, Dolby's character delights with winsome wit and intuition. A fabulous read -- M J Robotham
Hannah Dolby does it again. I loved No Life for a Lady, so I had high expectations of this book and it didn't disappoint. Hannah makes me laugh out loud. On one occasion, I felt compelled to read a line out to my husband, and he had a good chortle too! Violet is such a character and her adventures are just delightful. Really crossing everyone that there is a third book as I'd love to know what happens next. * Jennifer Page *
Hannah Dolby has done it again! I adored Violet in her first adventure, the writing alone makes you feel as if you are living in a different age. This time, Violet is intent on being a 'real' detective, in spite of opposition from her father and society in general - I loved meeting characters from the first book and seeing historical figures pop up added an additional sense of time and place. This is a mystery to curl up with - adorable! -- Faith Hogan
