It's 1907 Los Angeles. Mischievous socialite Anna Blanc is the kind of young woman who devours purloined crime novels, but must disguise them behind covers of more domestically-appropriate reading. She could match wits with Sherlock Holmes, but in her world women are not allowed to hunt criminals. Determined to break free of the era's rigid social roles, Anna buys off the chaperone assigned by her father and, using an alias, takes a job as a police matron with the Los Angeles Police Department.

To make matters worse, he refuses to speak on his own behalf, despite the overwhelming evidence against him.

Rosalind is to take up residence in Melbourne House, posing as Lady Melbourne's confidential secretary. There, she must discover the thief and regain possession of the letters.

Her elderly gardener Simpkins has been secretly sleeping there after a row with his disreputable brother-in-law and housemate, Hector Lomax. When Hector is found murdered, Constable Gibbs comes looking for Simpkins, last seen arguing with Hector the night before.

Publisher's Summary
Los Angeles, 1908. Anna Blanc is a former so-so socialite, a flailing police matron, and a killer detective.
Ex-heiress Anna Blanc is precariously employed by the Los Angeles Police Department, reforming delinquent children and minding lady jailbirds. What she really wants is to hunt criminals and be alone with Detective Joe Singer - both no-nos that could get her fired.
On a lover's tryst in Griffith Park, Anna and Joe discover the body of a young gambler. Anna can't resist. She's on the case. As her murder investigation stalls, and her police matron duties start piling up, strange floral arrangements begin arriving from an unknown admirer.
Following the petals leads Anna to another crime, one close to home. Suddenly pitted against Joe, Anna must examine her loyalties and solve the crimes, even if it means losing the man she loves.

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.
