About the Book

First comes love, then comes murder. In a London slowly recovering from the ravages of World War II, two very different women join forces to launch a business venture in the heart of Mayfair―The Right Sort Marriage Bureau. Miss Iris Sparks, avuncular and unmarried, and Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge, practical and widowed with a young son, are determined to achieve some independence and do some good in a rapidly changing world. But the promising start to their marriage bureau is threatened when their newest client, Tillie La Salle, is found murdered and the man arrested for the crime is one Dickie Trower, the prospective husband they matched her with. While the police are convinced they have their man, Miss Sparks and Mrs. Bainbridge are not. To clear Trower's name―and to rescue their fledging operation's reputation―Sparks and Bainbridge decide to investigate on their own, using the skills and contacts they've each acquired through life and their individual adventures during the recent war. In this charming, compelling mystery, Allison Montclair blends meticulous research with two brilliantly imagined main characters into the first in a wonderful new series.

About the Author :
Allison grew up devouring hand-me-down Agatha Christie paperbacks and James Bond movies. As a result of this deplorable upbringing, Montclair became addicted to tales of crime, intrigue, and espionage. She now spends her spare time poking through the corners, nooks, and crannies of history, searching for the odd mysterious bits and transforming them into novels of her own.

Review :
"The Right Sort of Man does more than nail post-WWII London in pitch-perfect setting and language--it introduces a female dynamic duo with whom I very quickly fell in love." -- "Lyndsay Faye, author of The Gods of Gotham" "[A] delightful adventure with two thoroughly modern women fighting for a place in a rapidly changing world. Can't wait for the next installment!" -- "Victoria Thompson, author of Murder on Union Square" "Both leads are complex, well-developed characters, whose penchant for humorous byplay never comes at the expense of the plot, which resolves itself in a clever fair play reveal." -- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)" "Brimming with wit and joie de vivre but sneakily poignant under its whimsical surface." -- "BookPage (starred review)" "Full of heart, astute, and darkly comic...a keenly observed historical mystery." -- "Cara Black, New York Times bestselling author" "It takes wit, grit, and ingenuity for the pair to save their agency. The account of game Gwen's efforts to navigate London public transport is worth the purchase price all on its own." -- "Kirkus Reviews (starred review)" "Narrator Sarah Nichols immerses listeners in London in the year 1946...[and] effortlessly shifts her accents to fit the personas adopted by the women. Listeners will enjoy the detailed depiction of a nation recovering from war." -- "AudioFile" "The author devises a first-rate plot, invests her heroines with depth and charm, paints an atmospheric portrait of postwar London, and provides a bit of romance." -- " Fredericksburg Freelance Star" "The dialogue is fast-paced and funny, with some of the best one-liners I've seen in a novel." -- "Historical Novels Society Reviews" "A delightful immersion in the period and personalities, with that touch of depth that transforms a good series to a great one." -- "Laurie R. King, New York Times bestselling author" "Utterly fabulous! Vivid historical detail, gorgeous prose, and witty, unforgettable characters all combine to make The Right Sort of Man one of the best books I've read this year." -- "Anna Lee Huber, author of the Lady Darby Mysteries"
