Death in Soho
Emily Organ
Works of: Fiction
It’s the Roaring Twenties. London’s bright young things are partying and Augusta Peel is hiding in her basement.
Book repairer Augusta Peel needs some peace and quiet after serving her country in the war. Forget jazz bands and sequins, she’s happy with a canary for company and old books.
But when she reluctantly agrees to chaperone a young woman for the evening, Augusta’s night takes a scandalous turn. A raid on a Soho nightclub ends in chaos – and murder. Who shot Jean Taylor?
An old acquaintance at Scotland Yard persuades Augusta to help with the investigation, but can a reluctant sleuth untangle a case involving actresses, gangsters, and theatre impresarios before the killer strikes again?
From bestselling author Emily Organ comes the start of a captivating historical mystery series — a stylish, atmospheric tale of secrets and murder in 1920s London. Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Rhys Bowen, and Agatha Christie.
