This book is a fantastic balance of great characters and exciting plot, and packed with interesting, accessible historical facts from the Victorian era woven into the story. It’s FILLED with fascinating historical detail and Victorian trivia – and with a gripping story, a mystery to solve.
Jane Pinny has moved to the very grand Lytton House to be a Maid Of All Work. And being a Maid Of All Work means that she has to do… well, ALL the work, obviously! Cleaning, dusting, scrubbing, washing – there’s SO much to do in a Victorian country house.
But when a priceless jade necklace belonging to the lady of the house disappears, Jane turns accidental detective (with the help of her best friend, a pigeon called Plump…) – can she solve the mystery of the missing jewels before it’s too late?
