Publisher's Summary
When a young nurse dies on her watch, Florence Nightingale must uncover the deep-hidden secrets someone will kill to keep buried.
It is 1853. Lady of the Lamp Florence Nightingale has just accepted the position of superintendent of the Establishment for Gentlewomen during Temporary Illness in London. She has hardly had time to learn the names of the nurses in her charge when she suddenly finds one of them hanging in the establishment's library. Her name was Nurse Bellamy.
Florence's mettle is tested by the dual goals of preserving what little reputation her hospital has and bringing Nurse Bellamy's killer to justice. Her efforts are met with upturned noses and wayward glances, except for her close friend and advocate inside the House of Commons, Sidney Herbert. As Florence digs deeper, however, her attention turns to one of the hospital investors and suddenly, Sidney becomes reluctant to help.
With no one but herself to count on, Florence must now puzzle out what the death of an unknown, nondescript young nurse has to do with conspiracies lurking about at the highest levels of government - before she is silenced too.

Goog read Just too long
I was a nurse for 3o years and was curious to read a murder mystery set in the 1850's; my favourite type of reading. The story was good. The mystery interesting and the naration great. The only down side to this book was its length, too long. The audio version is over 10hrs. It would have been so much better had it been about 6 or 7 hrs. I will read the next in the series and judge from there. Nice first book though. (I see that the 2nd book is as long as the first. Will give it a go nonetheless. )

Lawf have mercy
The woman who narrated this book my god awful! She sounded “S”nobby and dead inside as humanly alive I’m assuming she was a human person could be. It was a hard slog. Overall the story is a who dunnit style of head nurse x Miss Marple. It was lovely. Reminded me of my Grandmother she was a literal Sargent in ww2 and ran an entire private hospital in a prairie city not saying which but in 1985 she retired they gave her a settlement agreement to come back and train the new 16 nurses they hired on top of the ten there for when she left within two week they went from no. 1 to ten in standing. I was utterly gobsmacked it was not as all a small amount for even today and anyway she trained as a Nightingale now then becoming VON’s aka Victorian order of nurses now rn bsc. I became a doctor instead… lmao
