About This Book
After a prominent client is found strangled in a discreet Kensington beauty emporium, her daughter and her fiancé become entangled in a police inquiry that draws in the shop's proprietor, assistants, and an inspector. The investigation turns up a lost bag, a mysterious communication, conflicting testimonies, and a revealing photograph that expose hidden ties and motives. An amateur female detective and legal advice aid the unraveling while a surprise marriage and shifting loyalties complicate matters. Gradual disclosures about identity, past events, and calculated revenge assemble into final explanations that resolve the central mystery.
