A missing notebook. A dead reporter. A killer at large.

When the formidable Marchioness of Bandberry arrives at Ashcombe Hall, Lady Ellen feels the weight of her critical gaze upon her. But pomp and pageantry soon give way to scandal when a London journalist is found dead on Ellen’s drive. And his body has been marked with the chilling symbol of the Vigilante Slasher.

The missing notebook he carried could ruin reputations and, worse, cast suspicion on Ellen’s closest ally, Captain Ernest Hamilton. With Inspector Stone breathing down her neck, Ellen resolves to uncover the notebook’s contents herself, chasing threads from West End London drawing rooms to East End rescue homes, and consulting a celebrated psychologist tied to the late reporter.

Can Ellen find this terrifying killer before the secrets of the notebook are revealed?

A 1920s cozy with drama and suspense. The Reckless Reporter is a British cozy mystery for fans of classic country house crime.
