**Synopsis:** When eighteen-year-old aspiring scientist Elinor Dashwood discovers her beloved father slumped over the desk of his office study, she knows his death means dire straits for the Dashwood women. To make matters worse, an outdated will entails his estate—including Norland & Company, the private investigation firm where her younger sister Marianne worked as her father’s partner and protégé—to their half-brother and his haughty wife, who waste no time in forcing the Dashwoods out of their home and into a cramped apartment on London’s Barton Street.
But before they go, the Dashwood sisters make a startling discovery that points to foul play, and the killer might be family.
Obviously, the girls must investigate. It could be dangerous; it could ruin their reputations; and most importantly, it won’t bring back their father. But if the Dashwood sisters can combine their talents and bring their father’s murderer to justice, it may bring them all some comfort—and it might even lead to love.

**Personal thoughts:** This is the second book of the series & so far my favorite. The characters reminded me of little women’s sisters dynamics. It’s a great story with twist & turns. With the relationship of the sisters & mom was great. I think compared to the 1st book in the series, it had more dimension in the story. It had more character development & side characters that I actually enjoyed almost or just as much.
**Spicy level:** 🌶️/5 | minimal romantic gestures
