"What a delight... I found myself so drawn into this world of peculiar crimes that finishing the last page left me disoriented, requiring an extra beat to flash forward and rejoin the current century." – Sarah Weinman, New York Times Book Review
The envelope was tied with three delicate silk ribbons: "One of the new recruits is not to be trusted..."
It's 1959 and a new killer haunts the streets of London, having baffled Scotland Yard. The newspapers call him The Florist because of the rose he brands on his victims. The police have turned yet again to the Inquirers at Miss Brickett's for assistance, and second-year Marion Lane is assigned the case.
But she's already dealing with a mystery of her own, having received an unsigned letter warning her that one of the three new recruits should not be trusted. She dismisses the letter at first, focusing on The Florist case, but her informer seems to be one step ahead, predicting what will happen before it does. But when a fellow second-year Inquirer is murdered, Marion takes matters into her own hands and must come face-to-face with her informer—who predicted the murder—to find out everything they know. Until then, no one at Miss Brickett's is safe and everyone is a suspect.
With brilliant twists and endless suspense, all set within the dazzling walls and hidden passageways of Miss Brickett's, Marion Lane and the Deadly Rose is a deliciously fun new historical mystery you won't be able to put down.

      Listeners will be taken back to 1959 to a subterranean world below London where a group of young investigators solve crimes involving dangerous criminals and international conspiracies. Through the dramatic, versatile voice of narrator Karen Cass we hear the lively exchanges of the apprentices at Miss Brickett's Secret Detective Agency as they confront Soviet spies, gruesome murders, and internal conspiracies. This imaginative historical thriller relies on fantastical gadgets and improbable adventures, but what the plot lacks in authenticity, it makes up for in excitement. Cass gives each character, whether victim or aggressor, male or female, Russian or English, a voice that is appropriate and distinctive. This is a story for those who grew up loving Hogwarts.
