That Affair Next Door

Meer over het boek

A shocking murder in a neighboring house sets the stage for a suspenseful investigation led by Miss Amelia Butterworth, a witty and determined spinster. As she navigates the complexities of motives and alibis, her unconventional approach challenges the traditional methods of law enforcement. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century New York society, the narrative not only unfolds as a detective story but also critiques the gender norms and social expectations of the time through Miss Butterworth's defiant character.
