About this listen
York, England: 1940
"An unsuitable job for a woman...."
When her husband goes "missing in action", Jemma James returns to the city of her birth to set up a private detective agency with her best friend, Roberta "Bobbie" Baker, with whom she shares a passionate love of Golden Age crime fiction.
These two enterprising young women soon find themselves embroiled in a series of mysterious cases, shadowing blackmailers and bigamists, and investigating the perplexing history of a wealthy young woman who seems determined to wipe out her past. And it's not long before they stumble across an unsolved murder.
But the dead don't stay dead for long in historic York.
As the "phoney war" draws to a close, and the sky above the soaring twin towers of the twelfth century Minster darkens with menace, Jemma learns that even she is not above suspicion in wartime Britain.

Excellent listen
what a great new series, as an avid lover of Inspector Lavender l had doubts that this new duo would be as enjoyable but it is. l admit l easily saw the crime. and plot but it was great to see the way it was resolved and all the other smaller plot's and crimes that happened on the way, the duo are 2 exciting characters who complement each other in their ways, the narration was superb. desperate for the next book in the series.

A Lovely Female Detective Agency Startup Story
I love Karen Charlton’s writing style. Listening as an audio book paints a vision in my head and I become as-one with the story. It’s not just a detective story, but a group of interesting people and the starting of a female detective agency with a number of small cases and two larger ones.

Enjoyable story but the narrator spoiled it for me
Really enjoyed the story but found the narrator’s voice dreadfully wooden and boring, almost robotic
