Upon her mother’s abandonment, and the threat of boarding school, Enola runs off to London where she unintentionally gets up…

• Ranking P.C. Hawke Mysteries

Kitty thinks she’s a snobby nerd, and Mary believes she’s flighty, superficial and too ignorant to amount to anything. Passive aggressive sniping has been their mode of conversation pretty much their whole lives. But Mary’s still home-bound as she…
