About this ebook
Freda Lightfoot
Sunday Times bestselling author Freda Lightfoot hails from Oswaldtwistle, a small mill town in Lancashire. Her mother comes from generations of weavers, and her father was a shoe repairer; she still remembers the first pair of clogs he made for her. After several years of teaching, Freda opened a bookshop in Kendal, Cumbria. And while living in the rural Lakeland Fells, rearing sheep and hens and making jam, Freda turned to writing. She wrote over fifty articles and short stories for magazines such as My Weekly and Woman’s Realm, before finding her vocation as a novelist. She has since written over forty-five novels, mostly historical fiction and family sagas. She now lives in Spain with her own olive grove, and divides her time between sunny winters and the summer rains of Britain.

Reviews for Duchess of Drury Lane
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Mysteries and history, what more could one ask for? The Home Front History Series is set in London during WW1. Crime, particularly murder, continued even while men were being shipped out to fight. Inspector Marmion and Sergeant Keedy are called in to investigate the murder of a conscientious objector. It is 1916 and Britain has begun conscription. There is not much sympathy for the men who don’t want to fight because of belief or conscience. This sentiment complicates the investigation as do the secret attractions between some couples who need to keep their affairs secret.This was a promising first dip into a new series. The ongoing characters are interesting and it will be interesting to see how they develop as their story continues.
