+ Want to read

Colonial society in the Upper Canada in 1835 is highly stratified, but radical political change is brewing. And Lilly McNabb is chafing against the social strictures confining her. A milliner by trade, Lilly has a nose for trouble that draws her irresistibly towards her other calling - that of amateur detective. When Lilly stumbles across the battered corpse of John Reed, she is determined to find his killer, drawing her closer and closer to danger.
