Product Information
'Frances Brody has made it to the top rank of crime writers' Daily Mail 'Brody's writing is like her central character Kate Shackleton: witty, acerbic and very, very perceptive' Ann Cleeves A lady with a secret Kate Shackleton's sterling reputation for courageous sleuthing attracts the attention of the venerable Lady Coulton. Hidden in her past is a daughter, born out of wedlock and given up to a different family. Now, Lady Coulton is determined to find her and puts Kate on the case. A mysterious killing in the library's basement But as Kate delves deeper into Lady Coulton's past, she soon finds herself thrust into a scandal much closer to home. When the body of the respected Horatio Potter is found in the Leeds Library basement, the quiet literary community is suddenly turned upside down with suspicions, accusations and - much to Kate's surprise - the appearance of a particularly intelligent Capuchin monkey! The most puzzling case in Kate's sleuthing history yet Convinced an innocent man has been blamed, Kate sets out to discover the truth. Who would want Dr Potter dead? Does Lady Coulton's missing daughter hold a vital clue? As the stories start to emerge in the seemingly quiet Leeds Library, Kate is learning fast that in this case, she can't judge a book by its cover . . .

Excellent book in the Kate Shackleton series
This is a typical Kate Shackleton mystery. Having said that, it is probably the best in the series so far - I started with the first story and am reading them in order. Very believable characters and good story lines with some unexpected twists. Being set in the 1920s, the stories are a bit different to the usual crime stories and, having been brought up in Yorkshire, recognise many of the settings. Highly recommended.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A wonderful murder mystery
It's a lovely story in the series, of Kate Shakleton Mysteries. Just the right amount of murder and mystery and it keeps you guessing to the end. It is also lovely to learn a little more about life in the 1920s.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
