About this listen

Hilda Adams' life as a nurse has become a bit dull. As she approaches 30, she sees long, monotonous years of trained obedience to orders ahead of her. But a rascally patient, a police detective, sees in her the intelligence and discretion of a born criminal investigator. People confide in a private nurse; she could unearth clues that can crack a case.

Her first case is the disappearance of Clare March, a wealthy debutante who has been missing without a trace for a month. Miss Adams is hired to live in and tend to Clare's hysterical mother. In the middle of her first night on duty, as she is getting a snack, she watches as a little old lady furtively comes down the stairs, carrying a large buckled bag....

Glad to hear this historic 1st book in the series. Had only found it in written form

Loved the deceive nurse tale

This short piece is an unusual story which keeps you on the edge of your seat! At times, I really felt quite terrified. Even though it seems a bit contrived, the denouement is believable and hardly a mystery at all!

Entertaining, engaging, spine tingling

This was really more of a short story than a novel but kept me guessing till the end. The narrator was really quite good. Hated for it to end.

Excellent story by an excellent writer!
