Publisher Description
Christmas, 1910. Merinda Herringford and Jem Watts would be enjoying the season a lot more if they weren't forced to do their own laundry and cooking. Just as they are adapting to their trusty housekeeper's ill-timed vacation, they are confronted by the strangest mystery they've encountered since they started their private investigation firm.
In this bonus e-only novella, what begins as the search for a missing cat leads to a rabble-rousing suffragette and the disappearance of several young women from St. Jerome's Reformatory for Incorrigible Females. From the women's courts of City Hall to Toronto's seedy docks and into the cold heart of the underground shipping industry, this will be the most exciting Christmas the girls have had yet...if they can stay alive long enough to enjoy it.
Customer Reviews
Highly recommended!
It's hard to believe that this is McMillan's first published book. She's already mastered the art of creating characters who are engaging and realistic, as well as a narration style that draws you in right from the first place. You can tell that she really cares about the world that she's created, from the details in the setting, the relationship and dynamics between all of the characters, to even the smaller details of the current time period. What a wonderful introduction to what will hopefully turn out to be a wonderful series!
