"After the Armistice Ball" is Catriona McPherson's mystery introducing society sleuth, Dandy Gilver. The war is over and Dandy's husband has returned from the front along with all the other men who survived the war. She and the other women who did their bit at home are now back to twiddling their thumbs at home while (in Dandy's case) her boys are off to boarding school.
When Dandy's friend, Daisy, asks her to do a little sleuthing (for which she'll gladly pay her) to uncover a fraud scheme, little do either one of them know that they'll end up in the midst of murder, kidnapping, theft, deceit, and general mayhem. At times this book is a little hard to get into and/or to follow but once it got going, I was hooked. pazt
