Murder Between the Lines

Kitty Weeks, a reporter in the years of the First World War, is back on the trail of a killer. This is the second novel in the Kitty Weeks Mystery series. Her editor sends her to cover Westfield Hall, an elite boarding school for girls. When a pupil named Elspeth is discovered frozen to death in Central Park, the physicians attribute the death to sleepwalking. Kitty is unconvinced and sets out to learn what really happened.

Her inquiry points toward something far darker. Elspeth's father, a scientist, may be connected to the crime, and so may a new invention associated with Thomas Edison. Kitty must follow the evidence through a city and a period shaped by real historical events.

The book blends a historical setting with a detective plot in a way that suits readers who enjoy period mysteries built on real events.
