The library paradox - Catherine Shaw

March, 1896. Motherhood and work as a private detective don't easily go hand-in-hand, but Vanessa is determined to give it a try. Being a wife and mother has meant that she's had to give up her beloved teaching job, but she has been kept busy by a string of requests for her help. It is not often, though, that her investigations involve violent death... When three sombre professors knock on her door, she begins to doubt whether her modest capabilities will be enough to solve the mystery of their colleague's murder.
