A death is announced… one week from today.
When the Daily Post, the top-selling newspaper of 1924, receives a notice announcing the death of Lord Ravensbourne, something is clearly up. Not only is his lordship the owner of the Post, but he’s still very much alive.
Lady sleuths Marjorie Swallow and Mrs Jameson must find out who sent the death notice, before the threat becomes reality. But they quickly discover that Lord Ravensbourne, a belligerent bully, collects enemies like other men collect stamps. Everyone seems to have good reason to wish him dead.
The detective duo dive into the murky world of 1920s Fleet Street, the home of British newspapers, where back-stabbing journalists will do anything for a scoop, inky-fingered printers strike at the drop of a trilby hat, and the presses rumble deafeningly in the basement. Can they protect Lord Ravensbourne, find out who sent the death notice – and will Marjorie decide what to do about Freddie the jazz-playing pianist?
Death On Fleet Street can be read as a stand-alone, and is the fifth in the 1920s Murder Mystery series.
