Review of 'Miss Pinkerton' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Hilda works undercover for the police when they need a nurse to snoop around. Inspector Patton calls Hilda "Miss Pinkerton" when things are going well and other names (mostly Miss Adams) when things aren't.

This time, Hilda is requested to serve as a nurse for elderly Juliet Mitchell whose nephew had just (apparently) committed suicide.

While my favorite nurse-sleuth is Sarah Keate but I could see Hilda becoming a favorite.

Recommended if you enjoy slow moving, Agatha Christie-type murders.
