About this listen

Everyone at the party had a secret. Someone killed to keep theirs. London, 1922. Draper’s daughter Marjorie Swallow is 24, independent, and determined to live life to the full. A secretarial post with enigmatic American detective Mrs Jameson looks just the ticket. And soon she’s in the thick of it. When the bohemian party they attend ends in murder, there is no shortage of suspects. Half of Bloomsbury wanted Mrs Norris dead – but who wielded the knife? Was it the handsome but troubled artist? The vivacious young actress? Or even the aristocratic lady novelist? Marjorie and Mrs Jameson must find the true killer to save an innocent man from the noose.

From the garden squares of Bloomsbury to the seedy backstreets of Soho, they navigate the glamour and peril of Jazz Age London in a thrilling story of secrets and lies. Marjorie needs all her wit, pluck and charm in this perilous hunt for the killer. This classic murder mystery will keep you guessing to the final tick. The first in the 1920s Murder Mystery series, Blackmail in Bloomsbury will delight fans of Agatha Christie, Magda Alexander and Benedict Brown.

What's not to like about a whodunit set in the 1920s?

I've read most of Marjorie Swallow's adventures but love an audiobook. I enjoyed the reading, the accents were well done, Looking forward to hearing the rest of the series. Highly recommended 👍🏻
