It's 1884. Emma, now with a young son and no longer travelling with Daniel on the Mary B is finding it difficult to settle into town life. Until she's called on by her friend and neighbour Henrietta Pickles to investigate the death of her father-in-law. Who wanted Old Mr. Pickles dead? Was it his business partner, that arrogant patron of the Ladies Benevolent Society whom Emma recently confronted? Or is this about wills and inheritance? The police seem to think so when they arrest Henrietta's daughter Janet. Her family is distraught. Emma redoubles her efforts, determined to prove her friend's innocence before her children are left without a mother. But Daniel, home for the weekend, isn't thrilled with her involvement. As she rallies family and friends to the cause including Janey, her annoying but indispensible maid-of-all-work, Emma finds herself treading a delicate path when delicacy isn't what is needed. With Janet about to be sent down south to that grim and forbidding edifice, the Melbourne Jail, can Emma prove the coroner and Sergeant Donovan wrong before her friend ends up on death row?

Autorenporträt
Irene is a retired historian living in Perth, Western Australia where she writes historical cozy mysteries. Under her pen name Rennae Todd she also writes modern cozies.Irene grew up on a vineyard and orange orchard in New South Wales by the Murray River, where she was an avid reader, and started writing stories when she was nine years old (including some really dreadful poetry). Now living in Western Australia, she has three children and four grandchildren, and a sister who beta reads her books for plot holes and to see how quickly she can solve the mystery (so far she's not winning). When not writing, Irene reads, watches tennis, plays croquet (old age and treachery will defeat youth and enthusiasm every time) and has a reasonably green thumb, which means very little dies in her garden, unlike in her cozy mysteries. Irene and Rennae share a website at https://irenesaumanauthor.com.
