How to Solve Murders Like a Lady

***Hannah Dolby's latest instalment of the adventures of Lady Detective Violet Hamilton is available for pre-order now!***

Violet Hamilton is no ordinary lady…

She is a Lady Detective, who spends her time solving mysteries and unveiling scandals in the bustling seaside town of Hastings and St Leonards, a popular spot for the Victorian middle classes.
But when the body of a local woman is found on the beach, Violet's efforts to investigate are blocked at every turn.
Is that because, as a woman, she can't possibly be allowed to think or act for herself? Or is it because someone sinister has Violet in their sights?
Jane Austen meets Sherlock Holmes in this delightful mystery of manners that will steal your heart, and transport you to a world of seaside scandal and moonlit balls; dubious doctors and duplicitous crooked lords; adventurous escapades and stolen kisses.

    Forget how you feel,’ she said. ‘Forget what other people think. Pretend you are an actress on the stage. Speak with confidence, do not care how your words land and they will land well. People are mostly thinking of themselves. Decide who you want to be, who you want to show the world, and be that person. You can be anybody, my Violet. You have the power to present yourself to the world exactly how you wish to be seen.’

    ‘At some point between childhood and adulthood we all learn to do it, even if we do not realise. We discover we can change our facial expressions to hide our feelings, smile when we are angry, stiffen our backs to hide our hurt, wear sharply polished boots to feel more important. Often you can see that divide, the incongruence, if you look closely enough.

    Resolve

    Build on resolve, and not upon regret,

    The structure of thy future. Do not grope

    Among the shadows of old sins, but let

    Thine own soul’s light shine on the path of hope

    And dissipate the darkness. Moist no tears

    Upon the blotted record of lost years

    But turn the leaf and smile, oh smile, to see

    The fair white pages that remain for thee
