'A wry, warm and proper rib-tickling slice of dirty Victorian gothic'
Julia Crouch, author of The Daughters
1876, Victorian London. Minnie Ward, a feisty scriptwriter for the
Variety Palace Music Hall, is devastated when her best friend is found
brutally murdered. She enlists the help of private detective Albert
Easterbrook to help her find justice.
Together they navigate London, from its high-class clubs to its murky
underbelly. But as the bodies pile up, they must rely on one another if
they're going to track down the killer - and make it out alive . . .
The first in a sharp, witty series of Victorian mystery novels, The
Tumbling Girl is sure to delight fans of Sarah Waters, Elizabeth
Macneal, and Miss Scarlet and the Duke.
