That Affair Next Door

Step into the genteel, gaslit world of 1897 New York as Miss Amelia Butterworth, a spinster of keen intellect and even keener observation, witnesses a suspicious couple entering the grand Van Burnam mansion next door. Her instincts, sharper than any society gossip, prove terrifyingly accurate when she discovers a woman's body within. Suddenly, Miss Butterworth is no mere bystander but a crucial witness—a role she quickly decides is far too passive for her burgeoning detective ambitions. What begins as a solo foray into amateur sleuthing soon pits her against, and eventually alongside, the renowned Detective Ebenezer Gryce, as they navigate a labyrinth of secrets and deceptions to unmask a killer hiding in plain sight.
