Fresh, funny crime series for fans of Jasper Fforde and M.C. Beaton.
''Delightful and original... A series that could well become a cult'' DAILY MAIL.
125 Gower Street, 1883.
All is quiet at 125 Gower Street. Sidney Grice is swotting up on the anatomical structure of human hair whilst his ward, March Middleton, sneaks upstairs for her eighth secret cigarette of the day. The house is, perhaps, too quiet.
So when a beautiful young woman turns up, imploring London''s formost personal detective to solve the mystery of her father''s murder, Grice can barely disguise his glee.
Mr Nathan Garstang was found slaughtered in his bed, with no trace of a weapon or intruder. A classic locked-room case... or is it?
