London right after WWII, men are in short supply, and Iris and Gwen have teamed up to start a matchmaking business. They have set up a couple and are waiting to hear the outcome, which is not what they expect. The young woman is murdered and her potential date is fingered for the crime. Gwen and Iris can't let an innocent man hang and their business can't afford bad publicity, so they find themselves investigating what the police refuse to.
At first, no one expects much from them. But Iris was active in the war (and can't talk about most of what she did). Gwen lost her beloved husband, had a breakdown, and lost custody of her six year old son. Now she's on the warpath to get him fully restored to her. Iris can wield a knife, pick a lock, speak several languages, and identify a tail. Gwen is learning to be fierce and getting better at it. Can they clear their client by finding the real murderer?
I loved the extreme independence of these two women, taking their futures into their own hands and giving the world what's for. They both have things they aren't ready to talk about, but there's still time for that. And they're both learning to expect more out of life (and better). Don't settle for second best! I am glad there are future adventures of these two ferocious women to come!
