Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

Publisher's Summary
Los Angeles, 1908. Ex-heiress Anna Blanc is precariously employed by the Los Angeles Police Department, reforming delinquent children and minding lady jailbirds. Badly. What she really wants is to trap criminals and be alone with the delicious Detective Joe Singer—both pursuits that could get her fired. If she loses her income, she’ll be on the street. While hunting truants in Griffith Park, Anna and Joe discover the body of a young John Doe. With Anna’s job on the line, Joe warns her away, but Anna can't resist. She's on the case.

Another treat
These Anna Blanc mysteries are a pleasure to listen to. They are always carefully plotted, but the attention to historical details, the “laugh out loud” humour and the on/off romance between Anna and Joe Singer always manage to distract me from trying to guess the perpetrator, and the twists usually leave me surprised. The clues are always there, though, so there is never a sense of frustration at having been misled. The narration is very good as well. I read the first two books but will be treating myself to the audiobook versions of future books in the series. It still amazes me that these books are not on tv yet - hopefully amazon or Netflix will put that right soon.
