"The second installment in the Marion Lane mysteries series.

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.
