Google Overview
"Kate Shackleton joins Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs... They make excellent heroines." --Literary Review

Frances Brody's "refreshingly complex heroine" (Kirkus Reviews), picks up a case that takes her to the refined streets of 1920s Harrogate in A Medal for Murder

A pawn-shop robbery

It's no rest for the wicked as Kate Shackleton picks up her second professional sleuthing case. But exposing the culprit of a pawn-shop robbery turns sinister when her investigation takes her to Harrogate - and murder is only one step behind ...

A fatal stabbing

A night at the theatre should have been just what the doctor ordered, until Kate stumbles across a body in the doorway. The knife sticking out of its chest definitely suggests a killer in the theatre's midst.

A ransom demand

Kate likes nothing better than a mystery - and nothing better than solving them. So when a ransom note demands £1,000 for the safe return of the play's leading lady, the refined streets of Harrogate play host to Kate's skills in piecing together clues - and luring criminals out of their lairs...

A Medal for Murder by Frances Brody - Good

Hmm, I seem to have been reading a lot of this kind of book recently. Another 'surplus woman' turned detective in the aftermath of The Great War. More in the style of Maisie Dobbs than Daisy Dalrymple, Kate Shackleton has been hired to trace the owners of items stolen from a Leeds' Pawn Shop - discretion is needed to explain to the owners that they won't be able to redeem their items. This takes her to Harrogate which is a nice coincidence as she is due to see a friend's theatre production there.

Of course, there's a murder and a kidnapping and Kate finds herself drawn into the investigations.

Nicely done.
