Barbara on Her Own

The old-fashioned Maber and Maber department store is struggling for business. It’s not a patch on the modern Atterman’s store down the street. When Barbara, the goddaughter and secretary to Mr Maber, forges a plan, an unexpected turn of events unfolds. Mr Maber is found dead and Barbara is the prime suspect. Now, it’s up to Barbara to prove her innocence. But what really happened to Mr Maber and how will Barbara convince the police? A rollicking read full of laughs, ‘Barbara on Her Own’ is perfect for fans of Richard Osman’s ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ and the runaway hit ‘Knives Out’ with Daniel Craig.

Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer so prolific that his publisher claimed that he was responsible for a quarter of all books sold in England. An author, journalist and poet, Wallace wrote countless novels, short stories, screenplays, stage plays, along with historical non-fiction. His work has been adapted into more than 160 films. In 1932, Wallace died suddenly in Hollywood, during the initial drafting of his most famous work, ‘King Kong’.
