Down-and-out nurse and medical investigator Kate Kinsella takes the case and job of the late nurse Jenny Martin, who has been found beaten to death, and Kate finds herself caught up in the most dangerous case of her career. Reprint.
An old book but an exciting end. An amateur private investigator takes on a case that ends up more than she bargained for. It's funny & active with much wit within the story. A book I've never heard of but found on my husband's reading shelf.
Really 2.75 - Wasn't sure about reading this but ended up liking it (even laughed out loud a couple of times); might have rate it higher had it not been for some careless proofreading and odd character transformations at the end.
Kate Kinsella is doubly out of work--neither her nursing career nor her small medical investigations firm is flourishing. When her landlord and friend, undertaker Hubert Humberstone, points out the newspaper story of a murdered nurse, Kate applies for her job and also tries to find out who is the murderer. Kate's blunders and her lack of self-confidence don't get in the way of her courage and cleverness.
Sounded good when I got it, but couldn't get past the first chapter....she spent way too much tine arguing with her landlord and not enough building up of adrenaline.
