Murder, I Spy
(2023)(The first book in the Dora and Rex 1920s Mysteries series)
A novel by Lynn Morrison
When a reckless young lord teams up with London's most notorious femme fatale, the identity of a murderer won't be the only secret they'll unmask.
London, 1922: Lord Reginald "Rex" Bankes-Fernsby has spent his post-war years chasing distractions—fast cars, glittering nightclubs, and the empty promises of London's roaring nightlife. But when his best friend Freddie is found dead, the official story doesn't add up. Was Freddie a criminal, or did his death serve a darker purpose?
Desperate for answers, Rex turns to Theodora Laurent, a magnetic society darling with a knack for walking the fine line between scandal and sophistication. One of the last people to see Freddie alive, Dora might hold the key to unraveling the mystery...if someone doesn't kill her first.
When a bullet narrowly misses her, Rex and Dora are thrown together in a race for their lives. As they tear across London in search of the truth, Rex may be Dora's only chance of survival, and the single greatest threat to everything she's worked to hide.
This edition includes bonus novella Murder at the Front. Before the glittering ballrooms of 1920s London, there was a wartime wedding, a dead husband, and a traitor in the ranks. The story of how Dora and Rex first met, and why it would take nearly five years for them to meet again.
