'Kept me awake well past my usual bedtime as I had to know what happened next!' Reader review, 5 stars
A Front-Page Murder:
London, 1920. Starry-eyed aspiring reporter Poppy Denby swapped her quiet northern hometown for the Big Smoke to act as companion for her ailing (but ever-sharp) Aunt Dot, a pioneering Suffragette and former West End leading lady. It's only Poppy's first day on Fleet Street when one of the Globe's senior reporters falls to his death from the highest staircase - just moments after receiving a mysterious note.
She's got a murder to solve and this might just make the front page...
Murder at the Old Vic Theatre:
London, 1920. Newly promoted intrepid reporter Poppy Denby is tasked with her first big job for the Daily Globe: covering the royal exhibition at the Crystal Palace alongside dashing Globe photographer Daniel Rokeby. But before the party is even in full swing, the lights go out and when they finally come on again, the guests are horrified to discover that the glittering Fabergé egg has disappeared. Miss Denby's investigation will lead her to no other than Princess Selena Romanova Yusopova, a cousin of the murdered Romanov family but Poppy finds her sprawled across a pink chaise longue, drenched with blood - stabbed through the heart
Who could want the princess dead and is this a murder of passion or is it somehow connected to the great heist of the priceless Fabergé egg? It's up to the ever-brilliant Miss Poppy Denby to find out.
Murder on Lexington Avenue:
New York, 1921. Poppy Denby, star reporter for the Daily Globe is ready to set sail for a new adventure across the pond and join her boss for a stint at The New York Times. Writing obituaries isn't quite the American high life she'd imagined, but when a body is found in a luxury Lexington Avenue penthouse it's not long before our intrepid newshound sniffs out an unmissable scoop . . .
Can Poppy navigate New York's concrete jungle and find the truth before her life is in danger too?
Genre: Historical Mystery
