As inquisitive as Eloise Bridgerton, as lonely as Enola Holmes, and as sharp a sleuth as Lady Holmes herself, Miss Maddie Hatter uses her fashion reporting as cover for investigative journalism. Armed with her wits, her parasol, and her clockwork bird, this amateur detective hunts a legendary gemstone, trails a cunning con-woman from Egypt to Europe & beyond, and goes undercover against a penny-pinching airship heiress who never lets a good grudge die.
“*A jewel of a story filled with delightful surprises”
“Like a delightfully vintage game of Clue… Our Heroine is smart, stylish, and determined."
“Filled with intriguing gadgets, fantastical aircraft, exotic locations, interesting characters and even parasol dueling!”*
Winner of the Canadian Crime Writing Award of Excellence and the Alberta Book of the Year, she’s been a finalist for both the Prix Aurora and the UK Debut Dagger. Her short fiction won the Calgary Crime Writers Award, the Bony Pete/Bloody Words award, and was 3x bridesmaid for the Great Canadian Story prize. She lives in a vine-covered cottage between two rivers, keeping cats and secrets. Find her on:
