‘An ingenious marriage of comedy and crime.’ Olga
Tokarczuk, 2018 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature ‘The
sprightly narrative and vivid evocation of turn-of-the-century
Poland make for an enjoyable tale.’ Guardian ‘It’s fun
and sparky and the glimpse of turn-of-the-century Polish
manners and mores is beguiling.’ Daily Mail ‘The story
fuses high comedy with an evocative portrayal of the
period.’ Sunday Express For fans of The Thursday Murder
Club and Frank Tallis's Vienna Blood comes
the thrilling opener to a new Agatha Christie-style mystery
series set in Poland Cracow, 1893. Desperate to relieve her boredom
and improve her social standing, Zofia Turbotynska decides to
organise a charity raffle. In a bid to recruit the patronage of
elderly aristocratic ladies, she visits Helcel House, a retirement
home run by nuns. But when two of the residents are found dead,
Zofia discovers that her real talents lie in solving
mysteries. Inspired by Agatha Christie and filled with
period character and zesty charm, series opener Mrs Mohr Goes
Missing vividly recreates life in turn-of-the-century Poland,
confronting a range of issues from class prejudice to women's
rights, and proves that everyone is capable of finding their
passion in life, however unlikely that passion may seem.
