Louisa Delafield, former socialite, and Ellen Malloy, an unemployed lady’s maid strike up an unlikely friendship. And with little money or influence, they set out to bring justice to a criminal who is not only protected by well-heeled society but is necessary for their place in the Manhattan pecking order. We get a ripping fun tale, a murder mystery, two plucky heroines and a look at early New York’s pride, prejudices, idiocies, and misogyny, all of which are still hovering in the shadows of today’s headlines. I can’t wait for our next adventure! – Amazon Review
The Whispering Women
(A Delafield & Malloy Investigation Book 1)
Can two women get the lowdown on high society?
“Two powerless young women must navigate a soul-crushing class system and find the levers of power they wield when they combine their strengths. These women may have been taught to whisper, but when their time comes, they will roar.” – 5 Star Amazon Review
Louisa Delafield and Ellen Malloy didn’t ask to be thrown together to bring the truth to light. But after Ellen witnesses the death of a fellow servant during an illegal abortion, Louisa, a society columnist, vows to help her find the truth and turn her journalistic talent to a greater purpose.
Together, these unlikely allies battle to get the truth out, and to avenge the wrongful death of a friend.
What will our heroes do when their closest allies and those they trust turn out to be the very forces working to keep their story in the dark? They’ll face an abortionist, a sex trafficking ring, and a corrupt system determined to keep the truth at bay.
“If you like historical fiction and if you like mysteries, this one is for you!” – 5 Star Amazon Review
