This was a totally absorbing story from the first page to the last. Great interaction between the various participants, which brought the story to life. All the boxes were ticked on the way to the conclusion, which was a fitting ending.

7 August 1922. Sir William "Wispy" Fescue is approached by wealthy shipping magnate Sir Chester Eastoff and Lady Alberta as their 24 year old daughter Florence went missing six weeks ago, and the police have failed to find her. Now they have received a ransom demand and want to employ his agency in finding her. But with Eastoff having enemies, who can they trust, and who is actually involved. An entertaining and well-written historical mystery with its cast of varied and likeable characters.
