Over dubious - and sometimes downright inedible - dinners, Nora gathers evidence about the other lodgers. At long last, she has found an outlet for her powers of observation and, well, nosiness.When one of the lodgers is found dead, Nora decides she must find the murderer. Not least because she suspects the victim knew Frieda.

A Life Sentence is an eye-opening book for anyone with an interest in Victorian society or who wants an introduction to Sergeants work.
