Kate Saunders' The Secrets of Wishtide
Rereading this for book club, and it totally holds up to a second read, even though I remembered whodunnit. It’s the first in a series about a respectable Victorian widow who solves crimes (usually at the behest of her lawyer brother), with the help of her no-nonsense landlady and various friends (I love the friendships and family relationships in this series). The plot here involves a wealthy man hiring her to investigate his son's lady friend's background, but things of course take a turn toward murder. A very well-done mystery, with bonus Dickens references. A/A-.
