Publisher's Summary
January 1910. A journalist has been killed in a suspicious blaze. Everything points to a group of suffragettes, but the apparent culprit insists she is innocent.
When Lady Hardcastle receives a letter from a suffragette requesting her urgent help, the retired spy turned sleuth knows only she stands between an accused young woman and the gallows. Evidence at the scene makes Lizzie Worrel’s innocence difficult to believe, and with the police treating it as an open-and-shut case of arson, Lady Hardcastle faces a barrage of resistance as she tries to dig out the truth.
With her trusted maid and confidante, the formidable Flo, Lady Hardcastle sets off in pursuit of the truth as time runs out for the accused suffragette. Was she set up? And if so, is the real culprit a traitor to the cause - or part of a darker conspiracy?

Very light but irresistible
There is a bit of fun history here along with a rather corny (suspend belief) storyline. But the characters are so likeable I can’t help coming back for more. Feels a bit like a guilty pleasure.

Silly but fun
After reading the last review I felt compelled to write a rebuttal. I find these novels charming and this is no exception. I love thé silly interplay between characters whilst accepting that these women are capable of amazing things. I love that the main characters are women in charge of their own lives and destinies.

Rather a silly story - disappointing!
I have struggled to listen tothis silly story, the characters were simpering and seemed rather silly women, I hope that was not how women were in the day, rather more down to earth and intelligent. I cannot continue.
