THE TUMBLING GIRL
First in a series of richly engaging London-set Victorian crime novels, by an exciting debut novelist. A mystery with depth, heart and humour, perfect for fans of Sarah Waters, Elizabeth Macneal and Stacey Halls, and introducing a wonderful sleuthing duo.
Late Victorian London, and the intrepid and outspoken Minnie is scraping a living as a writer for the Variety Palace Music Hall. Her world revolves around wilful monkeys, incompetent mesmerists, and a boss who thinks he knows it all. But everything changes when Minnie's actress friend Rose turns up dead.
The police dismiss it as a loose woman's suicide, but Minnie believes otherwise and joins forces with private detective Albert Easterbrook The Champion of the Labouring Classes' to uncover the truth.
The two quickly become close, but a secret from Minnie's past threatens any chance of a future together. And when an intriguing item of jewellery a Stanhope' is found in Rose's belongings, linking her to a prospective MP who dies shortly after, the lack of investigation smacks of a police cover-up
THE TUMBLING GIRL is the first in a series of enthralling, historical crime novels featuring the detective skills of Minnie Ward and Albert Easterbrook. Bridget has completed the second book in the series THE INNOCENTS and has mapped out plans for the following titles SUMMERLAND and THE TWIXTER as well.
Bridget Walsh lives in Norwich. She has a PhD in Murder in the Victorian Domestic Sphere' and an MA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia. The manuscript of THE TUMBLING GIRL won the UEA Little, Brown Award for Crime Fiction 2019.
