Miss Burnham and the Loose Thread by Lynn Knight

I very much liked this historical fiction title that features Rose Burnham and her sisters. Together, they run a business making bespoke fashion for their clients. When their best customer suddenly has no funds, things do not look good for Rose and her sisters.

When Rose learns that this customer has been swindled out of her money by the date that she met through an agency, she is enraged and motivated. While historically there was a disproportion between the number of men and women post WWI when this title is set, such agencies flourished.

Rose steps up to try to stop the scheme in a story that abounds in historical detail and information about dressmaking. It was a quite enjoyable read.
