Flora has trodden the path of amateur sleuth before, but with so much at stake, this time it's personal.

1905 London is a heady mix of unimaginable wealth and simmering political tensions, and with war looming Flora Maguire wants to keep her family safe.

So when her beloved charge Viscount Edward Trent is accused of murder, she's determined not to leave the investigation to the police.

Slowly the body of the victim found stabbed on a train bound for Paddington starts giving up its secrets, and Flora and her husband Bunny become mired in a murky world of spies, communists and fraudsters. And with the police more sure than ever that Edward is their murderer, Flora must work fast to keep him safe.

Anita Davison's compulsive story-telling, combined with the irresistible mix of historical drama and gripping mystery, makes this unputdownable.

Perfect for cosy mystery fans who love the glitz and glamour of "The Gilded Age" and "Downton Abbey".

Born in London, Anita Davison has always had a penchant for all things historical. She now lives in the beautiful Cotswolds, the backdrop for her Flora Maquire mysteries.
