About the book
Allison Montclair is back with the fourth installment of the Sparks & Bainbridge mystery series, The Unkept Woman. Set in London in 1946, the story follows Miss Iris Sparks, who is currently co-owner of the Right Sort Marriage Bureau, as she confronts ghosts from her past during the recent war.
The Right Sort Marriage Bureau was established in 1946 by two very different women - Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge, who lost her husband in the war, and Miss Iris Sparks, a former intelligence agent with a mysterious wartime past. As the agency thrives in the post-war era, both women must confront the aftermath of their personal wartime experiences. Miss Sparks is approached by a young woman with ties to her past love interest, leading to a chain of events that may have deadly consequences. Meanwhile, Gwendolyn struggles to regain control over her life, finances, and son amidst legal challenges.
Together, these resilient women are not only skilled at matchmaking, but also adept at overcoming the challenges that come their way.
