A breakout new detective series, from the author of the spine-tingling SCARLET AND IVY series, beautifully illustrated by Hannah Peck. Violet Veil wants nothing more than to prove her worth and become her father's apprentice at Veil & Sons Undertakers. And one rain-soaked night she gets her chance when she meets a boy, Oliver, who is wandering around the graveyard. Only, the last time Violet saw Oliver, he was indoors and very much dead, waiting to be buried. Victoria has just found her first case, and it doesn't get bigger than this: can she, with the help of her dog, Bones, help Oliver solve his own 'murder'? Gold title * Strong heroine with 'girl power' that taps into the feminist/Rebel Girl movement. * Perfect for readers of the much-loved SCARLET AND IVY series and for fans of MURDER MOST UNLADY LIKE. * The Violet Veil Mysteries bring a gothic, Victorian angle to the popular detective tale. * The first book in brand-new breakout series.
