Emily Sullivan: A Murder in Marylebone
Emily Sullivan #2
A Murder in Marylebone is the second book in a delightful new mystery series by Emily Sullivan, featuring Minnie Harper, a widow in her thirties with two children, in the late 1890s. The first book took place on Corfu, where Minnie had lived with her husband, Oliver, until his sudden death. She had promised him that she would stay on Corfu and raise their children there, but in the previous book her daughter, fourteen-year-old Cleo, decided to go to school in England with the hope of attending Girton College, Cambridge (one of the first colleges for women), just like Minnie did. And so, Minnie and her son, eight-year-old Tommy, who is a budding natural scientist, return to London to be closer to her.
