Marion Lane and the Deadly Rose
"What a delight... I found myself so drawn into this world of peculiar crimes that finishing the last page left me disoriented, requiring an extra beat to flash forward and rejoin the current century." â Sarah Weinman, New York Times Book Review
The envelope was tied with three delicate silk ribbons: âOne of the new recruits is not to be trustedâŠâ
Itâs 1959 and a new killer haunts the streets of London, having baffled Scotland Yard. The newspapers call him The Florist because of the rose he brands on his victims. The police have turned yet again to the Inquirers at Miss Brickettâs for assistance, and second-year Marion Lane is assigned the case.
But sheâs already dealing with a mystery of her own, having received an unsigned letter warning her that one of the three new recruits should not be trusted. She dismisses the letter at first, focusing on The Florist case, but her informer seems to be one step ahead, predicting what will happen before it does. But when a fellow second-year Inquirer is murdered, Marion takes matters into her own hands and must come face-to-face with her informerâwho predicted the murderâto find out everything they know. Until then, no one at Miss Brickettâs is safe and everyone is a suspect.
With brilliant twists and endless suspense, all set within the dazzling walls and hidden passageways of Miss Brickettâs, Marion Lane and the Deadly Rose is a deliciously fun new historical mystery you wonât be able to put down. Â
