Publisher's Summary

The first historical mystery in a new classic crime series from best-selling author Frances Brody. This is the perfect locked-room pause-resister for fans of Agatha Christie and Jacqueline Winspear.

1969. A job in the Prison Service is not for everyone. The training is hard, the cells are bleak and a thick skin is needed. But for Nell Lewis, helping prisoners is something she cares about deeply, and when she's promoted into a new post as governor of HMP Brackerley in Yorkshire, she's tasked with transforming the renowned run-down facility into a modern, open prison for women.

Just as Nell is settling into her new role, events take a dark turn when a man's body is discovered in the prison grounds. The mystery deepens still when one of their female inmates goes missing, ensuing a search across the country.

Can Nell resolve the sinister happenings at HMP Brackerley, before anyone else is put in danger

Enjoyable

I’m a big fan of the Kate Shackleton series by this author. I did enjoy this first instalment in the new series and I expect that character development will happen as the series progresses.
