Quotes by Angela Misri (?)

“I decided the least I could do was to sit with Mrs. Anderson. Heading to the dining car, I ordered my third pot of tea (my first three-pot problem — Mr. Holmes would be so proud) to be delivered to her compartment rather than mine.”
― Angela Misri, Jewel of the Thames

“Incredible,” said Constable Dawes. “Impossible,” said Sergeant Michaels. “Elementary,” said my professor with a grin.”

“The corners of her mouth turned up in a wry smile. “Better and better. Your grandmother’s looks and your grandfather’s brains. A deadly combination, I must say.”
