No Life For A Lady

400 pages
Violet Hamilton is a woman who knows her own mind. Which, in 1896, can make things a little complicated...
At 28, Violet's father is beginning to worry she will never find a husband. But every suitor he presents, Violet finds a new and inventive means of rebuffing.
Because Violet does not want to marry. She wants to work, and make her own way in the world. But more than anything, she wants to find her mother Lily, who disappeared from Hastings Pier 10 years earlier.
Finding the missing is no job for a lady, but when Violet hires a seaside detective to help, she sets off a chain of events that will put more than just her reputation at risk.
Can Violet solve the mystery of Lily Hamilton's vanishing before it's too late?

โA charming, delightful, clever historical mystery that's chock full of goodness - a strong heroine who won't take no for an answer, a mystery and a reluctant detective who keeps rescued seagulls in his wardrobe, and a serious message about sexual liberation and positivity that gives this lovely and touching story a modern twist! It's a perfect read for fans of Lessons in Chemistry and Dear Mrs Bird.โ
