About the book
The proprietors of The Right Sort Marriage Bureau are once again on a mission to spread love to the people of Post-WWII London, undeterred by a murder investigation!
In 1947 London, Miss Iris Sparks and Mrs Gwendolyn Bainbridge are thrust into action when Gwen's boyfriend, Salvatore 'Sally' Danielli, is accused of murder!
Sally, newly employed at the BBC studios at Alexandra Palace, becomes the prime suspect when Miss JeanneMarie Duplessis, a Parisian performer, is found dead in the theatre where Sally works. Despite the mounting evidence against him, Iris and Gwen are determined to clear his name.
With twists and turns in the plot, Iris is drawn back into the secretive world she navigated during the war. To exonerate Sally, they must once again embark on a dangerous quest to unmask the real killer!
Fans of Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher mysteries and Dorothy Sayers will surely delight in this charming and clever historical mystery!
