Deeds and Words

Book 2 in the Louisa and Ada series - a queer historical murder mystery series that explores notions of justice and morality, driven by compelling flawed characters.

¿¿June 1913
Leeds, England.

When a man is shot dead in an alleyway and a suffragette arrested for the crime, Louisa Knight and Ada Chapman are once more pulled into a case that hits too close to home. It's not long before they're mired in both the investigation and their local branch of the WSPU.¿¿¿

Amongst the suffragettes, they'll find dedicated women fighting to secure the vote through whatever means necessary but also missing money, blackmail threats, and an unexpected familial connection.

As questions arise and doubts surface, they not only have to face a difficult investigation but a reckoning with their part in the suffrage movement.

This book would appeal to both fans of historical mysteries and LGBTQA+ fiction.
