Death On Fleet Street: A 1920s Murder Mystery

When the Daily Post, the top-selling newspaper of 1924, receives a notice announcing the death of Lord Ravensbourne, something is clearly up. Not only is his lordship the owner of the Post, but he’s still very much alive.

Marjorie and Mrs Jameson must find out who sent the death notice, before the threat becomes reality. But Marjorie quickly discovers that Lord Ravensbourne, a belligerent bully, collects enemies like other men collect stamps. Everyone seems to have good reason to wish him dead.

Marjorie dives into the murky world of 1920s Fleet Street, the home of British newspapers, where back-stabbing journalists will do anything for a scoop, inky-fingered printers strike at the drop of a trilby hat, and the presses rumble deafeningly in the basement. Can she protect Lord Ravensbourne, find out who sent the death notice – and decide what to do about the jazz-playing pianist, Freddie?
