Vigilauntie Justice #1.5
The Unveiled Lady
What’s a bit of blackmail between friends?
In a quaint café in the heart of London, two older women sit in awkward silence. Sensitive Baz nurses her tea, while driven Peggy tosses back endless espressos.
The silence is shattered when Peggy’s estranged sister crashes into their sanctuary, bringing word of an ominous threat.
Bound by an unwavering sense of justice, Baz and Peggy find themselves drawn into a game of secrets and lies. For the two friends, this isn’t just about helping Peggy’s sister; it’s about an affront to common decency. When they uncover the truth, the justice they serve up won’t be bound by the law.
The Unveiled Lady is a short story in the Vigilauntie Justice series – cosy(ish) noir(ish) stories set in London. The stories do sometimes have on-page violence but it's never graphic. There's minimal swearing and no romance or sex – but there's heaps of queer content and found family.

Quirky and fun story
This is a really cute story. The characters are quirky. I liked the mystery. I don't really understand the relationships in the group, but they are a fun bunch. The mystery is really low key but I really liked it. The characters are just that little bit twisted, although this story doesn't illustrate that as much as the other story I read. The writing is really good, and I only caught one error--I think the word evidence should be emphasis.
