Omschrijving

In 1925 a distinguished London lawyer is murdered in his rooms in the prestigious Bedford Row. The victim's niece, Renee Marchmont, the proprietor of an agence de voyage, is determined to help the police unravel a web of intrigue, underhanded dealings and scandal, unearthed from the deep past and the opaque present, to find her uncle's killer. Equally important is finding out the truth about her beloved's father who just happens to be the main suspect.

This deliciously complex tale is for those who enjoy historic fiction, who-done-its, and crime dramas of the early 20th century, a time when there were no computers, and detectives and criminals had to live by their wits. The Murder in Bedford Row is a feminised book, which normalises female agency and participation in the narrative as opposed to the original text, typical of its time, where women were minor or passive characters or indeed non-existent.
