The Case of the Missing Maid

Harriet Morrow Investigates, Book 1

De: Rob Osler

Narrado por: Nicol Zanzarella

Rough-around-the-edges Harriet Morrow has long been drawn to the idea of whizzing around the city on her bicycle as a professional detective, solving crimes for a living without having to take a husband. She seizes the chance when the prestigious Prescott Agency hires her as its first woman operative. The move sparks controversy—with skeptical male colleagues, a high-strung office secretary, and her boss, Mr. Theodore Prescott, all waiting for her to unravel under the pressure . . .

Harriet has an assignment: Discover the whereabouts of a missing maid from one of the most extravagant mansions on Prairie Avenue. Owner Pearl Bartlett has a reputation for sending operatives on wild goose chases around her grand estate, but Harriet believes the stunningly beautiful Agnes Wozniak has indeed vanished under mysterious circumstances . . .

With Mr. Prescott pushing a hard deadline, Harriet's burgeoning career depends on working through a labyrinth of eccentric characters and murky motives in a race to discover who made Agnes disappear. When her search leads to Chicago's Polish community and a new friendship in Agnes's charming older sister, Barbara, clues scattered across the city slowly reveal just how much depends on Harriet's inexperienced investigation for answers . . . and the deep danger that awaits once she learns the truth.

Couldn’t put it down

The person that read this book was perfect. Really added to the story with a good narrator I couldn’t wait to hear what would happen. I hope this to become a series

Fun and Entertaining

Very much enjoyed this light mystery. Harriett and her friends are very likeable and the mystery kept me wondering. Hope to see a second book in this series. Good narration.

Good first book

I liked the characters and the narration was excellent. I would prefer the story focus more on Harriet’s work and less on her sexual preference. Seems everyone in the book is homosexual and the focus was more on that and less on the actual mystery.
