Deeds and Words (Louisa & Ada #2)

June 1913 

Leeds, England 

When a man is shot dead in an alleyway and a suffragette arrested for the crime, Louisa Knight and Ada Chapman are once more pulled into a case that hits too close to home. It’s not long before they are mired in both the investigation and their local branch of the WSPU. 

Amongst the suffragettes, they will find dedicated women fighting to secure the vote through whatever means necessary, but also missing money, blackmail threats, and an unexpected familial connection. 
 
As questions arise and doubts surface, they not only have to face a difficult investigation, but a reckoning with their part in the suffrage movement. 

Praise for the Louisa & Ada series: 

"Before reading The Murder Next Door I'd never spent one second of my life thinking about Edwardian Leeds and it made me feel like I was actually there, and like I knew Louisa and Ada and the people around them." Cat Sebastian, author of We Could Be So Good 

"An unputdownable murder mystery filled with twists and turns with a stunning sapphic romance at its heart... will have you rooting for the lovable crime-solving heroines until the very end." Rachel Bowdler, author of Summer at the Scottish Castle 

"A gripping mystery oozing with Yorkshire charm, with such vivid and skillful writing you feel like you're right there with the characters. An absolute delight!" Katherine Shaw, author of Gloria 

"The atmosphere is fantastic [and] the language, both in the narrative and in dialogues, takes the reader back seamlessly." LezReviewBooks.com
