The Astonishing Adventure of Jane Smith

The Astonishing Adventure of Jane Smith

Patricia Wentworth

About this book

London, 1922. Jane Smith, smart, level-headed, and intrepid, is down on her luck. She’s lost her job. Her landlady has confiscated her belongings and locked her out. With only an estranged cousin, Renata, she has no family to rely on. She's on her last few shillings when a chance encounter in the park sweeps her into an adventure which will include imposture, peril, romance, secrets, and… murder. A classic Golden Age suspense novel, full of thrills and adventure, going from the shadowy meetings of sinister conspiracies, to stately English manor houses atop seaside cliffs, to a warren of secret passages that lead to a life-threatening discovery.
