EXPECTS (2014)

 

Brighton 1953 the 3rd Mirabelle Bevan Mystery follows the trail of a Masonic intrigue. Mirabelle and her sidekick Vesta investigating the seemingly unrelated murders of a racing journalist and a cleaning woman.

A classically arresting mystery, overflowing with good old fashioned pluck, courage and perseverance. The third in the Mirabelle Bevan mysteries, this can also be read as a vintage standalone novel. In a bygone era, Mirabelle and her feisty cohort Vesta often outpace their male companions and are far ahead of their time. This is such an authentic read, Brighton in the early 50’s is as much a character in the book as the investigators themselves… With some formidable detective work as well as some particularly perilous moments, this is a first rate read.
