Set in 1898 London and along the road to Brighton, A Conspicuous Woman follows Tabitha and Wolf as a motor-car race turns deadly when Wolf is accused of a fellow driver's murder.
Eager to embrace the new age of the motor-car, Wolf enters one of England's earliest runs from London to Brighton, while Tabitha and the dowager travel ahead to await his arrival. What should have been a moment of triumph instead becomes a crisis when tragedy strikes the course, and suspicion falls squarely upon him.
Refusing to accept the accusation, Tabitha and the dowager undertake their own investigation, uncovering rivalries, jealousies, and hidden scandals among the competitors, while the reappearance of Lady Arlene Archibald threatens to complicate matters further.
As the case unfolds, Tabitha must clear Wolf's name before suspicion hardens into certainty and his reputation is irreparably damaged.
Perfect for readers who enjoy Victorian historical mysteries featuring early motor-car culture, high-society scandal, and investigations driven by urgency, reputation, and shifting loyalties.
