A secret liaison. A baffling murder. Can one woman solve the crime without joining the body count?

Northern England, 1953.

Pauline Riddell has grand ambitions for her future at the armament factory. So, when her closest workmate reveals a salacious affair with a married man, Pauline refuses to risk her career by listening to the scandal. But, she’s shaken to her core when the police arrive with news of her best friend’s homicide.

Desperate for justice, Pauline’s insistent poking into the investigation only makes her the prime suspect. And now, to clear her name, she must unravel a web of deadly clues entangling her in a sinister plot. Can Pauline catch the killer before they strike again?

I enjoyed the start of the story and I thought it was running along the lines of Agatha Christie. from there it went down hill.
The narrator's time was one level and the characters all sounded the same.
The story was very predictable.
Not my cup of tea..

Overall disappointing
