Two for Sorrow

Author Nicola Upson brings legendary mystery writer Josephine Tey back for a third investigation in Two for Sorrow, the spellbinding follow-up to An Expert in Murder and Angel with Two Faces. Fans of P.D. James, Agatha Christie, and Jacqueline Winspear will relish this ingenious literary creation, as one of the most beloved mystery writers of the twentieth century, while doing research for a new novel based on a horrific case of multiple child murder in 1903 London, is drawn into a chillingly related hunt for a sadistic, present-day killer.

Josephine Tey is staying at her club whilst she does research for a real crime book.  Thirty years before two women were hanged at Holloway for the crime of baby farming (namely assisting with the birth of babies and then killing them!), as she looks deeper into this another crime hits closer to home.  One of the assistants at the Motley dress design workshop is found horrifically killed, with Archie Penrose trying to hunt down the sadistic killer Josephine wonders if the past she is researching is now haunting the present.
