Then, her employers wanted her to increase her skills by learning embroidery and fancy stitchery, which would also increase her wages, never a thing to despise. She was also going to be working in the bar, Bandy's Place, Friday and Saturday evenings. The bar's owners, Bandy Bunyan and Sugar Plum Flaherty, were already old friends, and had long looked out for her. It was about this time that Peace, the half-Chinese, illegitimate daughter of Bandy's sister, arrived from boarding school. She had run away and swore she would never go back.

There was no room for Peace with her Aunt Bandy, with Bandy's new boyfriend sharing a two-bedroom apartment with Bandy and Mr. Flaherty, so Lizzie took Peace in and all was well until the young girl disappeared. Would Lizzie and her new friend, retired cop T. C., be able to find her in time?

No Peace for the Wicked is written by British author Pip Granger. The reader will turn to the dictionary to translate some of the words and phrases into American English, including most of the swearing, but that will not detract from a mystery that is rich in characters, culture and atmosphere. Pick up a copy and enjoy a good mystery!
