About this listen
1929: Miss Clara Vale is a woman ahead of her time. Rather than attending Oxford to bag an eligible Duke (as her mother, Lady Vale, so desperately hoped), she threw herself into a degree in chemistry, with aspirations to become a scientist in her own right.
But the world isn't ready for Clara. Unable to land a job in science because she's a woman, she is stuck behind the desk at a dingy London library.
Until her estranged Uncle dies suddenly, leaving her his private detective agency, and laboratory, in his will.
Clara couldn't become a detective, could she?
The decision is made for her when one of her uncle's old clients comes to her for help with a case surrounding the local picture house and invites Clara to see the latest show, before they discuss the details.
But during the film, a fire suddenly engulfs the picture house, with tragic consequences.
It seems at first an accident, but Clara soon begins to question if it was in fact a carefully orchestrated murder.
She's suddenly in the middle of a deadly mystery and will discover her scientific skills make her a sleuth to be reckoned with... Can she catch the killer before they strike again?
The first in a brand-new, glittering Golden Age cozy mystery series. Fans of Verity Bright, Helena Dixon and TE Kinsey will be hooked from the very first page to the final breathtaking finale. ©2023 Fiona Veitch Smith (P)2023 Bonnier Books UK

Clara Vale is a strong follow on from Poppy Denby.
Having just finished the Poppy Denby series, I had a slight trepidation as to whether Clara could fill Poppy’s sizeable shoes .. she is very different as a character but the book was just as enjoyable. They really are very well written with interesting characters & a good pacing. Also thanks to Hannah for her excellent narration- am looking forwards to book 2!

Great narration
Although part of the retro golden age detection genre, the books are so well written and narrated, that I don't mind. They're good fun.
