SYNOPSIS

The blood-stained murder and the poison pen

Melbourne 1927. When the Poison Pen column in The Truth newspaper shames five members of the public, exposing their hypocrisy and lies, it barely raises a ripple of interest. But when three of them end up dead, each clutching a white feather, The Argus’s senior crime reporter, Reggie da Costa, feels compelled to investigate. What is the connection between the anonymous Poison Pen and the people he ridicules: the president of the Melbourne Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, a nurse, a politician, a doctor, and a priest? What is the significance of the white feather? Can Reggie unmask the Poison Pen and bring a murderer to justice?

The White Feather Murders is the fifth in the Reggie da Costa Mysteries

REVIEW

Until I read this book, I had no idea how similar the 1900s were in the US & Australia. Prohibition…Gold Rush…Women’s Rights to name a few. It was an enjoyable and educational read that kept me guessing to the very end.

The White Feather Murders is part of the Reggie da Costa series but can easily be read as a stand-alone.

I received this book free from the author, publisher, or other source. My only obligation is to provide a fair and honest review.
