What you see isn't always as it seems. It's 1884. Emma, with young son Darcy, is now living in the township of Echuca in an idyllic setting on the banks of the Murray while Daniel continues to work the river on the PS Mary B. But Emma is having trouble settling into town life. So, when her friend Henrietta Pickles begs her to investigate the death of her father-in-law, Emma agrees. After all, when both the Coroner and Sergeant Donovan believe Henrietta's daughter Janet is the only suspect, what else can she do? Yes, Janet is a dear friend, but her own sense of justice won't let her rest easy until the matter is set to rights and the real culprit behind bars. Emma rallies family, new friends, and old enemies alike to the cause including Janey, her annoying but indispensable maid-of-all-work. But what are her chances of success? She's well known and respected among the rivermen, but that's hardly the best recommendation for facing down the town authorities or being accepted by the Ladies Benevolent Society. Can she return Janet to her young family and the Primrose Tearoom before she's sent down to that grim and forbidding edifice the Melbourne Gaol? And what will Daniel have to say about her poking her nose into murder once again?
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.
