Dogsbody by Michael Molloy

Dogsbody: British slang. One who does menial work; a drudge.

For a change from detectives and cops, try Michael Molloy’s book, Dogsbody.

Sarah Keane is a reporter for the London Gazette. In search of a good story, she goes undercover as a woman looking for employment. She meets Sir Silas Nightingale and his violent nephew Sir Toby while working as a serving girl at the high-class Corinthian Club, a posh men’s club.

When Sir Silas unexpectedly passes away, an American. Jane Crow, appears on the scene to make her claim on the Nightingale fortune. Sarah is hired by the family lawyer to keep Jane safe.

Superintendent Colin Greaves, meanwhile, is tracking down a missing third beneficiary, an Oxford don. Sarah digs deeper and deeper into the sordid underworld of London aristocracy. With the don missing, Sarah fears for Jane’s life as the unstable Sir Toby insists that he is the sole heir.

The action is swift and the setting rich in Molloy’s book.
