About This Book

***Buy the latest instalment of the adventures of Lady Detective Violet Hamilton, How to Solve Murders Like a Lady, NOW!***



***



Violet Hamilton is a woman who knows her own mind. Which, in Victorian Hastings, can make things a little complicated...



At 28, Violet's father is beginning to worry she will never find a husband. But every suitor he presents, Violet finds a new and inventive means of rebuffing.



Because Violet does not want to marry. She wants to work, and make her own way in the world. But more than anything, she wants to find her mother Lily, who disappeared from Hastings Pier 10 years earlier.



Finding the missing is no job for a lady, but when Violet hires a seaside detective to help, she sets off a chain of events that will put more than just her reputation at risk.



Can Violet solve the mystery of Lily Hamilton's vanishing before it's too late?



A delightfully joyful, funny and gripping historical novel, perfect for fans of The Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting and The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels.
