Publisher's Summary

First comes love, then comes murder.

In a London slowly recovering from the ravages of World War II, two very different women join forces to launch a business venture in the heart of Mayfair - The Right Sort Marriage Bureau. Miss Iris Sparks, avuncular and unmarried, and Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge, practical and widowed with a young son, are determined to achieve some independence and do some good in a rapidly changing world.

But the promising start to their marriage bureau is threatened when their newest client, Tillie La Salle, is found murdered and the man arrested for the crime is one Dickie Trower, the prospective husband they matched her with. While the police are convinced they have their man, Miss Sparks and Mrs. Bainbridge are not. To clear Trower's name - and to rescue their fledgling operation's reputation - Sparks and Bainbridge decide to investigate on their own, using the skills and contacts they've each acquired through life and their individual adventures during the recent war.

In this charming, compelling mystery, Allison Montclair blends meticulous research with two brilliantly imagined main characters into the first in a wonderful new series.

Profile Image for Tam

really enjoyed the story, narrator not my favourit

I found the characters in this novel to be fun, interesting and quirky. My favourite kind. the story was good, mystery interesting. Unfortunately, the narrator was not as good as I am used too. struggled with male voices and some awkward accents. In addition, some pacing in certain conversations that I found took from the story.

but I do admit, if there is a second book, I am giving it a try. I just want to know what trouble our heroins get up to next. lol
