Meet Augusta Peel, an amateur sleuth with a mysterious past.
Augusta’s a middle-aged book repairer who chaperones young ladies and minds other people’s pets in her spare time. But there’s more to Augusta than meets the eye. Detective Inspector Fisher of Scotland Yard was well acquainted with Augusta during the war. In 1920s London, no one wishes to discuss those times but he decides Augusta can be relied upon when a tricky murder case comes his way.
