Celeste, the landlady of Marchfield Square has created a haven for a carefully curated group of. residents. She and her manservant, Dixon, look after their welfare. Richard Gleason, a brute who abuses his wife, slipped under her radar, and now he‘s dead. Two residents are tasked to investigate. The big reveal at the end was not a surprise, but this debut is intriguing. I look forward to her sophomore novel.
