Following Your Nose

The Kill Fee by Fiona Veitch Smith is a fabulous historical novel where amateur sleuthing is the order of the day. It is the second book in the Poppy Denby Investigates but can be read as a stand-alone. It does immediately follow on from book one with the action being set in 1920.

This book surrounds the Russian revolution of 1917 and the killing of Czar Nicholas and his family. There are spies and double agents, thieves and murderers, whose worlds collide with that of Poppy Denby.
