In the hotly anticipated follow-up toThe Tumbling Girl, Minnie and Albert take on a new crime-solving quest in the world of a Victorian music hall.
The Variety Palace Music Hall is in trouble, due in no small part to a gruesome spate of murders that unfolded around it a few months previously.
Between writing, managing the music hall and trying to dissuade her boss from installing a water tank in the building, Minnie Ward has her hands full. Her complicated relationship with detective Albert Easterbrook doesn't even bear thinking about.
But when a new string of murders tears through London, Minnie and Albert are thrown together once more. Strangely, the crimes seem to link back to a tragedy that took place fourteen years ago, leaving 183 children dead.
And given that the incident touched so many people's lives, everyone is a suspect . . .
