Miss Snowfall Investigates… A Sexy Sapphic Golden Age Crime Story
A missing Egyptian artefact. A house full of suspects. A very unsuitable amateur detective.
Penelope Snowfall has never considered herself a detective. She has, however, solved a murder before, and possesses the sort of confidence that comes from never allowing a shortage of evidence to get in the way of a good theory.
So when a long-dead pharaoh’s priceless “golden staff” disappears from an English country house, Penelope is perfectly happy to take charge. Was it a burglar? Was it an inside job? Or is it all down to the curse of Queen Neferati?
Unfortunately, everyone is a suspect.
There is Mrs Fforbes-Forbes, the desperate owner of the collection. Felicity Fox, the earnest Egyptologist whose museum cannot afford to buy it. Honeysuckle Dubois, an extraordinarily wealthy American determined to get the mysterious staff for her Museum of Biblical Truth. And Dr Ayeesha MacDonald, the glamorous Egyptian-Scottish archaeologist.
As Penelope and her old schoolfriend Flora conduct unconventional interviews, examine suspicious luggage and hop from bed to bed in search of the truth, the weekend becomes more complicated than anyone anticipated.
There are secrets in the bedrooms, secrets in the museum—and one particularly remarkable secret about the true purpose of the golden staff apparently forgotten since the days of Queen Neferati herself.
With a stolen treasure, a shattered window, an eccentric collection of suspects and rather more sapphic distraction than any responsible detective ought to allow, Queen Neferati’s Little Secret is a naughty, irreverent romp through the world of Golden Age crime fiction.
If you like witty amateur female sleuths, the glamorous 1920s, Egyptian mysteries, outrageous suspects and plenty of sapphic mischief, Penelope Snowfall is waiting to investigate.
Warning: If you are likely to be offended by explicit accounts of sexual activities, this is not the book for you. 18+
