Learn moreBusiness becomes personal for the Right Sort Marriage Bureau when a new client, a brutal murder, two kidnappings, and the recently returned from Africa Lord Bainbridge threaten everything that one of the principals holds dear.
In London, 1946, the Right Sort Marriage Bureau is getting on its feet and expanding. Miss Iris Sparks and Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge are making a go of it. That is until Lord Bainbridge—the widowed Gwen’s father-in-law and legal guardian—returns from a business trip to Africa and threatens to undo everything important to her, even sending her six-year-old son away to a boarding school.
But there’s more going on than that. A new client shows up at the agency, one whom Sparks and Bainbridge begin to suspect really has a secret agenda, somehow involving the Bainbridge family. A murder and a subsequent kidnapping sends Sparks to seek help from a dangerous quarter—and now their very survival is at stake.
Allison Montclair grew up devouring hand-me-down Agatha Christie paperbacks and James Bond movies. As a result of this deplorable upbringing, she became addicted to tales of crime, intrigue, and espionage. Montclair now spends her spare time poking through the corners, nooks, and crannies of history, searching for odd mysterious bits and transforming them into novels of their own. She is the author of The Right Sort of Man and A Royal Affair, the previous novels in the Sparks and Bainbridge series.
Reviews
“An artfully constructed puzzle and dry humor lift Montclair’s excellent third mystery…Feisty leads continue to develop as psychologically plausible characters.”
“From the drawing room to the back alley, murder is no match for this unlikely pair of marriage brokers.”
