Book Synopsis



The 1st in an award-winning series of thrilling historical murder mysteries, set in the thrilling Victorian London music hall scene and the bustling world of vaudeville

"Walsh's rich and nuanced portrayal of the period will leave readers feeling like they're on the soggy streets of London... Un-put-downable" -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

1876, Victorian London's West End

The feisty Minnie Ward is scraping a living as a scriptwriter for the Variety Palace Music Hall when the body of her best friend is found in a dingy riverside archway. The police write off the death as a suicide and declare the case closed, but Minnie is convinced that her friend was murdered. Determined to discover the truth and get justice for her friend, she teams up with the dashing private detective Albert Easterbrook.

Together, they navigate the streets of London, from high-class gentlemen's clubs to shady drinking dens. While the pair investigate the murder of Minnie's friend, a notorious serial killer is wreaking havoc across London. As the bodies pile up, they must rely on one another if they're going to track down the killers. But the closer they get to the truth, the more Minnie suspects Albert of hiding something. And as their paths become more and more intertwined, Minnie fears that the truth may have devastating consequences...

The Tumbling Girl is the 1st in a historical crime series featuring an irresistible crime-solving duo. It won the UEA Little, Brown Award for Crime Fiction in 2019 and the HWA Debut Crown Award, and was shortlisted for the CWA John Creasey Dagger Award.
