A Nell Bray mystery set in Edwardian London, where the staging of George Bernard Shaw's new comedy, a feminist reworking of "Cinderella", results in murder. The fearless lady sleuth follows a trail which takes in a raunchy East End club, a primitive flying machine and a beautiful Queen Anne house.

About the Author:
Gillian Linscott has been a journalist with the GUARDIAN and Parliamentary Correspondent with the BBC. Two Nell Bray novels have been dramatised on BBC Radio 4 and ABSENT FRIENDS was the winner of the CWA/Ellis Peters Historical Dagger Award.
From School Library Journal:
YA-Suffragette and amateur sleuth Nell Bray's latest case begins in 1909 when George Bernard Shaw seeks protection for his leading lady, whose life has been threatened by her jealous husband. Nell is soon investigating the death of the censor from the Lord Chamberlain's office who had come to review Shaw's searing play about English marital laws. Was the Examiner of Plays killed by mistake? Perhaps the star, Bella Penwardine, whose life resembles the plot of Shaw's play, was the intended victim. In seeking to find the murderer, Nell must deal with a missing leading lady, snubs from her high-society husband's friends and family, plus sabotage and riots used to discredit Shaw and his players. The plucky heroine tracks down the missing thespian after an aeroplane ride in a Wright model with Bella's leading man and shining knight, who claims that Nell is only the third British woman to go up in such a craft. After a crash landing occurs, the mystery moves to a rapid conclusion as Nell unmasks the unlikely murderer. Once more Linscott engages readers' attention with a clever mix of mystery and early 20th-century history and characters.
