No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
London, 1890: scientific investigator Marianne Starr must discover the source of the unearthly screams that plague a gothic house at night. The suspects seem obvious though the reasons are a mystery. Nevertheless, she is quick and clever and is soon ready to expose the fraud, and pocket the money and fame.
But then someone is killed, someone else flees, and suddenly her world is turned upside down. Her father is breaking out at night on a mission of his own, and her funds are running low. The murderer knows that Marianne is coming after them, and will stop at nothing to protect their interests.
Her knowledge is not enough. She has to call on favours from some less-reputable members of London society and she runs the risk of being arrested herself.
The race is on to track down the real object of the murderer's actions, but once again Marianne has dragged everyone else she knows and cares about into mortal dangerβ¦
Light, fun, intriguing and irreverent, THE TALKING BOARD is a standalone historical mystery. It comes after THE WILLING GAME but they can be read in any order. Suspend your disbelief, and join Marianne on her high jinks through Victorian London!
