First comes love, then comes murder.
In a London slowly recovering from the ravages of World War II, two very different women join forces to launch a business venture in the heart of Mayfair - The Right Sort Marriage Bureau. Miss Iris Sparks, avuncular and unmarried, and Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge, practical and widowed with a young son, are determined to achieve some independence and do some good in a rapidly changing world.
But the promising start to their marriage bureau is threatened when their newest client, Tillie La Salle, is found murdered and the man arrested for the crime is one Dickie Trower, the prospective husband they matched her with. While the police are convinced they have their man, Miss Sparks and Mrs. Bainbridge are not. To clear Trower's name - and to rescue their fledgling operation's reputation - Sparks and Bainbridge decide to investigate on their own, using the skills and contacts they've each acquired through life and their individual adventures during the recent war.
In this charming, compelling mystery, Allison Montclair blends meticulous research with two brilliantly imagined main characters into the first in a wonderful new series.

I’ve now listened to five of these books and they’ve threaded my needle perfectly each time. I love the setting and the characters, they have enough psychological complexity to feel truly real while also being very decent, even when royalty is involved, things feel to scale, and I’m so invested in their continuing story. And, not for nothing, the mystery plotting is pretty darn crackerjack. If you like muffin mysteries OR Louise Penny, I think you’ll really like this. If you liked the early Maisie Dobbs books, you’ll love it. But, better yet, if you almost but not quite loved those and want something somewhere in between all of them, this series may be exactly what you need.
A great beginning to an excellent series
