About this audiobook
This is an AI-narrated version of this audiobook.
Is the death of a schoolteacher suicide or something more sinister?
Adele Gossling is adjusting well to small-town life after the hustle and bustle of San Francisco. Despite her progressive ideas about women and her unladylike business acumen, even Arrojo’s most prominent citizens accept her, provided she sticks with the business of fountain pens and letter paper and stays out of crime investigation.
But that’s just what she can’t do when Millie Gibb, the new teacher at the local girls’ school, is found dead, and everybody in town assumes the schoolteacher committed suicide. After all, what enemies could she have?
Adele and her clairvoyant friend Nin intend to find out. But can they prove Millie’s death was foul play based on a cigar stub, a letter fragment, and a cigarette lighter before the case is closed for good?
You’ll love this turn-of-the-century whodunit where a sassy and smart New Woman gives the police a run for their money!
What reviewers are saying:
“The characters are true to life, and the early methods used in criminal detection are fun to read.”
“Characters are well written.”
“An excellent story with great characters!”
About the author
Writing has been Tam May’s voice since the age of fourteen. She writes stories set in the past featuring sassy, sensitive women characters. Tam is the author of the Adele Gossling Mysteries, which takes place in the early 20th century and features suffragist and epistolary expert Adele Gossling whose talent for solving crimes doesn’t sit well with her town’s conventional ideas about women. Tam also has a new series, the Grave Sisters Mysteries, about three sisters who own a funeral home and help the county D.A. solve crimes in a 1920s small California town, set to release in 2025. She has written historical fiction about women breaking loose from the social and psychological expectations of their era. Although Tam left her heart in San Francisco, she lives in the Midwest because it’s cheaper. When she’s not writing, she’s devouring everything classic (books, films, art, music), concocting yummy plant-based dishes, and exploring her new riverside town.
