THE QUEENS OF CRIME

THE QUEENS OF CRIME by Marie Benedict

Oh my goodness, do I get to bring a great, fiction read to you today! Many of you know how much I love a good MYSTERY, so could we possibly have anything more perfect than 5 REAL LIFE mystery authors who collaborate together to solve a murder? Not in my book! When Dorothy Sayers, Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham, and Baroness Emma Orczy are inducted into the male-heavy Detective Club, they quickly realize they are not wanted or respected. It's time to take matters into their own hands and gain the respect they all deserve. They form their own club within the club calling it The Queens of Crime and set out to solve the months old mystery of a murdered, young, English nurse named May Daniels. The mystery deals with some tricky topics, but Benedict does a good job of keeping it clean.

HEADS UP- The book references Sayers' illegitimate child which is a fact. No intimate details given.

The word b****** is used two or three times especially referencing children born out of wedlock.

 SPOILER ALERT May Daniels was raped and is pregnant. No details are given about the encounter.
