Synopsis
When the suffragette movement is bequeathed a valuable painting by campaigner Philomena Venn, suffragette and amateur sleuth Nell Bray agrees to retrieve it. The plan is simple: Collect the picture from Philomena's widower, Oliver, take it to Christie's, and sell it to raise much-needed funds. But Nell is in for a surprise when she returns from the Vennes' home in the Cotswolds: The painting he has given her is a fake!
When Oliver refuses to hand over the real painting, his son, political activist Daniel Venn, suggests an alternative plan to Nell: Why doesn't she break into the house and switch the paintings? Against her better judgment she agrees, and in the process she uncovers a far more serious crime---a brutal murder in which she is now personally embroiled. . . .
Once again, Gillian Linscott guides her delightfully starchy heroine through the politics, personalities, and perils of early twentieth-century England.

From the Back Cover
Praise for Gillian Linscott's Nell Bray Mysteries
"Nell Bray novels always charm with their easy mix of politics and passion."
- The Poisoned Pen
"Superb. . . . Linscott has combined a wonderful cast of characters with a clever, unexpected resolution."
- Publishers Weekly on Dead Man Riding (starred review)
"Linscott captures the tenor of the times . . . and presents a complex puzzle with an original solution. Well done."
- Kirkus Reviews on Dead Man Riding (starred review)
"Linscott depicts human nature in all its variations and truths. . . . She also ensnares her readers in a story that propels them through the book so rapidly that any history absorbed is merely incidental to the intriguing mystery."
- Mystery News on The Perfect Daughter
"Get some social history and a ripping good mystery at the same time."
- The Washington Times on The Perfect Daughter
