Synopsis

“I just loved this book. Full of surprises and twists and turns!” —Amazon reviewer, five starsA woman of humble origins fights to overcome every obstacle to pilot a plane in World War I Britain, in a novel by the author of The Fuhrer’s Orphans . . . Being female means that Charlotte Dovedale’s dreams are likely out of reach. Her mother is eager to support Charlotte’s brother in his quest to join the newly formed Royal Flying Corps, but Charlotte is left to channel her energy into the suffragette movement. When she meets upper-class Scott Fanshawe, though, he opens a door for her: teaching her to fly. It soon becomes clear that Charlotte has not only the skill, but the bravery required for aviation. However, when she finally earns her pilot’s license, the Great War breaks out and threatens to keep her grounded. It will take all of Charlotte’s daring and determination to succeed and soar—in a risky adventure that will put her face-to-face with the enemy . . .

She employs him to attend a weekend social gathering at Temple Heath House, the country home of her father Sir Reginald Potter. Peter has to play the role of Rosemary's boyfriend to determine whether her father is being deceived by a clairvoyant. Out of place in a world he has no experience of, Peter finds himself at the centre of murder and intrigue. Slipshod is written in the classic whodunnit style but with a delicious twist.
