A BODY ON THE DOORSTEP
London Ladies Murder Club Book 1
Marty Wingate
Review by Author Roy Murry
Miss Mabel Canning, a Renaissance woman of the 1920s, has moved from her small town to London. She has taken up residence and has employment at a service agency, Useful Women.
Her first mundane job for the agency is to help at the wake of a wealthy man. She opens the front door, and a non-guest is lying dead with a letter for the widow.
What happens next is Miss Canning going from one job to another while snooping. Mable's and the other main characters are woven into an interesting mystery that leads to a sensitive conclusion.
Wingate's writing is crisp, well-developed, and flows quickly. The characters fill the bill as a Book 1 lead-in to an enjoyable historical series.
