![]() ![]() Until then, the most taxing part of her days had been deciding which hat to wear. After a crash course in toxicology, she dons a beard and trousers and she’s off, tracking the huntsman. ![]() Newly divorced from her philandering ex, Fiona is desperate for adventure, as well as determined to help her country. When he breaks his leg en route, file clerk Fiona Figg sees her big chance. The War Office plans to send their own spy to the abbey, posing as a doctor on holiday. ![]() ![]() Who’s he really working for? Why is he in England? And what kind of name is Fredrick Fredricks? They need someone to infiltrate the abbey and get the goods on Fredricks. Charisma, but the upper brass in the War Office think he’s a German spy. Fredrick Fredricks-big-game hunter-cum-journalist-is swaggering around the village in jodhpurs, shopping for expensive mustache pomades, and taking tea with posh country ladies. It’s 1917, the height of the Great War, and a suspicious South African war correspondent has taken up residence at Ravenswick Abbey. Recently, I wrote my first historical mystery, Betrayal at Ravenswick, a WW1 mystery featuring file clerk turned spy, Fiona Figg. I love reading historical mysteries-Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody, Jacqueline Winspear’s Maisie Dobbs, Rhys Bowen’s Georgiana Rannoch, Sujata Massey’s Perveen Mistry. ![]()
