Publisher Description

Lady Rose Summer refuses to abide by her parents' insistence that she marry. Even more distressing, she wants to work. On advice from Captain Harry Cathcart - a noble-born private investigator who knows Rose all too well - her parents agree to let Rose work as a typist and live in a women's hostel.

But life as a working woman isn't quite what Rose imagined: When a playboy is murdered, Rose returns to high society to follow a trail of deception, rumors, and devious plots - even as a singularly calculating killer prepares to end rebellious Rose's sleuthing for good!

"The second book in the Edwardian Murder Mystery series was as entertaining as the first. Lady Rose Summer returns and tries to become a career woman along with her friend and former chorus girl, Daisy. Something of a reluctant iconoclast, Rose slides between the working class and her nobility. Captain Harry Cathcart returns and the two work together to yet again solve murders among the upper class. This continues to be one of my favorite series by Marion Chesney."

    " Another Rose and Harry mystery in which they continue to snipe at each other but end up engaged. Rose seems to be the better detective despite the fact Harry owns the agency. Daisy Levine is living up to the promise of the first book. "

    " A good mystery - lots of back & forth as to "who dunnit" - but also the new dynamic of Daisy moving back & forth in her class status - keeps it much more interesting. "

    " This is the second book in the Edwardian Murder Mystery series. The main character,Lady Rose Summer discovers she doesn't really want to be a free woman. In the this book, Rose gets into all sorts of trouble only to be rescued by Captain Harry Cathcart each time. "

    " The second in another wonderful series by Marion Chesney (who writes as M. C. Beaton too). These Edwardian-era characters (Lady Rose and Harry Cathcart) work with and against each other to solve crimes, among an outrageous collection of characters from all strata of society. Great fun. "

    " This is the first of a series of books about Lady Rose Summers set in about 1890 or so. Lady Rose is a fiesty upper class deb and she gets into lots of interesting scrapes. Each book is good light reading. "

    " This is the second in a funny, silly series of Edwardian mysteries. It's almost like Perils of Pauline - Lady Rose is first kidnapped, then sent to an insane asylum, and this is before the first murder. It all works out, of course, even though Rose is almost killed herself twice before the end. "

    " I usually enjoy plot-driven books, but this one was so concise that by the end I felt as if I was reading a series of bullet points, rather than a book. Poor editing also contributed to my disappointment with this book. "

    " This is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. This series is by the same author as the Hamish MacBeth and Agatha Raisin books, she just changed her name a bit (instead of MC Beaton). It's a good light read for lovers of historical mystery, set in the early part of the 20th century in England. "
