Solving Sophronia

Lady Sophronia "Sophie" Bremerton is a society columnist for the London Illustrated News, but she aspires to be an investigative reporter. When a stuffy ballroom proves to be nothing more than the usual rumor mill, Sophie seeks respite in the library alongside four other young women who are also looking for escape from society's expectations. As the conversation turns to their secret ambitions, the women form a sisterhood and a bold plan to make their dreams a reality, no matter the obstacles — thus begins the Blue Orchid Society. When a young woman is murdered in Spitalfields, Sophie insinuates herself into the investigation alongside Jonathan Graham, the detective assigned to the case, hoping for the scoop that will launch her career.
