What to expect
When Evelyn's beloved grandmother dies, her aunt takes off on a tour of India and Meredith journeys to the south of France, Evelyn finds herself very much alone. But not for long - an unexpected proposal coincides with the return of a former love and Evelyn must ask herself what matters most - security or passion. She also discovers a secret hidden in her mother's past - a mystery that throws a very different light on the cases she is investigating.

Critics Review
-
The author of The Crimson Rooms returns with this sequel, a Mitford-style 1920s thriller.
RED MAGAZINE -
No matter the era, professional women always struggle to balance that old chestnut – love versus a career. If you think you’ve got it bad now, just imagine living in the 1920s and being one of the first women to qualify as a solicitor…
GRAZIA -
I’m hooked by Evelyn and those around her and I love the sense of the period. Katharine McMahon is a great storyteller.
NIAMH CUSACK -
You’ll immediately fall for Evelyn, the lead girl in The Woman in the Picture…
COMPANY MAGAZINE -
Evelyn is a brave, intelligent character, especially given the sexism of the times, and you will find yourself rooting for her and the people she defends.
WOMAN MAGAZINE -
This novel’s skilfully crafted atmosphere draws the reader in from the first page, and the protagonist’s compassion for the people she defends is impressive. The cases she becomes embroiled in are interesting, but the love story is the most gripping part. McMahon is a talented writer whose twists will keep you turning pages. It can be easy to forget that not so long ago, women were still fighting to be taken granted in the workplace 0 this book reminds us it was not in vain.
