The Daughters of Gentlemen

A Frances Doughty Mystery

The sequel to The Poisonous Seed is Frances Doughty’s first case as a private detective.

With curious goings-on at a respectable private school for well brought up girls, the governors naturally call in a lady detective to investigate, but soon it becomes a case of murder. As election fever hits Bayswater and the formidable ladies of the Bayswater Women’s Suffrage Society swing into action, Frances discovers the dark secrets that lie behind the lace curtains.

The Daughters of Gentlemen is the second book in the Frances Doughty Mystery series
