'Has a charm, and mystery, all of its own' THE TIMES

'Frances Brody has made it to the top rank of crime writers' DAILY MAIL

The first historical mystery in a new classic crime series from bestselling author Frances Brody. This is the perfect locked room page-turner for fans of Agatha Christie and Jacqueline Winspear.
___________

1969. A job in the Prison Service is not for everyone. The training is hard, the cells are bleak and a thick skin is needed. But for Nell Lewis, helping prisoners is something she cares about deeply, and when she's promoted into a new post as governor of HMP Brackerley in Yorkshire, she's tasked with transforming the renowned run-down facility into a modern, open prison for women.

Just as Nell is settling into her new role, events take a dark turn when a man's body is discovered in the prison grounds. The mystery deepens still when one of their female inmates goes missing, ensuing a search across the country.

Can Nell resolve the sinister happenings at HMP Brackerley, before anyone else is put in danger?

Kritikerstimmen

Has a charm, and mystery, all of its own
An intriguing and heart-warming story
With a competent, dynamic and likeable heroine, and an environment packed with stories great and small, it's hard to see how this series would fail
Praise for Frances Brody:
Frances Brody has made it to the top rank of crime writers
Brody's writing is like her central character Kate Shackleton: witty, acerbic and very, very perceptive (Ann Cleeves)
Kate Shackleton is a splendid heroine (Ann Granger)
Delightful
Frances Brody matches a heroine of free and independent spirit with a vivid evocation of time and place . . . a novel to cherish (Barry Turner)
Kate Shackleton joins Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs in a subgroup of young, female amateur detectives who survived and were matured by their wartime experiences. As self-reliant women in a society that still regards them a second-class citizens, they make excellent heroines
I really adore this series and Kate is such a strong, level-headed character
