The Astonishing Adventure of Jane Smith

Patricia Wentworth's first mystery novel! Wentworth's blend of mystery and adventure is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie. What would you be willing to do if you had only pennies to your name? Would you take on someone else's identity? Would you willingly spy on secret agents who are involved in a nefarious espionage scheme? And would you be brave enough to try to put an end to it? Jane does exactly that. In England at the turn of the 20th century, Jane defies gender stereotypes of the era as she slips through hidden passages, hides key evidence, and communicates with authorities through secret messages. In this fine new edition, with a special foreword by cozy mystery author Josi S. Kilpack, you'll find that being bold and daring have their consequences. But will they be worth it?
