The second novel in Ann Granger’s wonderfully atmospheric Victorian mystery series.
Lizzie Martin, lady’s companion, has been sent from London to the New Forest to comfort a young woman whose baby has tragically died. A sad enough task, but things take an even darker turn when a rat-catcher is found murdered in the garden, and the young woman is discovered beside the body, crying and covered in blood.

Reviews
Praise for Ann Granger's previous crime novels: 'Characterisation, as ever with Granger, is sharp and astringent'
'The plot is neat and ingenious, the characters rounded and touchingly credible, and the writing of this darkly humorous but humane and generous novel fluent, supple and a pleasure to read'
'The reader can expect a treat. Lively, different and fun'
'Ann Granger's skill with character together with her sprightly writing make the most of the story....she is on to another winner'
'One of crime fiction's most engaging heroines'
