There is Meade, a young woman who was crossing the Atlantic when her steamer was struck by a Nazi torpedo. She survived; her husband did not.

And all that drama in just one flat. There are many secrets in Vandeleur house, and it will take the full force of gentlewoman detective Maud Silver’s intuition to unravel them.
