'A lovely cosy mystery' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Engrossing' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Two households, both lacking dignity . . .

1927, Dunfermline: Two families - the Aitkens and the Hepburns - run rival department stores, warring across the high street. Society lady - and sometimes detective - Dandy Gilver arrives in town to find the youngest children of both families have gone missing, believed to have eloped.

That is, until one of the young lovers is found dead on the shop floor.

As the retail dynasties collide over the fate of the lovers, Dandy Gilver begins pulling at threads that threaten to unravel both families. For behind the window dressing lies a disturbing history. And before long, there will be more bodies . . .

A brilliantly thrilling and witty cosy historical mystery set in the cutthroat world of high street retail in the 1920s. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.
