Sister Beneath the Sheet (1991)

Nell Bray is a committed suffragette who is sent to Biarritz to investigate a rumour that the suffragettes have been left the fortune of a high-class prostitute. She has to try to be as discrete as possible but as she starts asking questions she finds herself with more questions rather than answers and she feels a need to find the answers.

It's an interesting look at Edwardian France and the English who visited. The class divides are very much evident and you can see the issues some people would have with some of what was going on. Occasionally some of the characters did blur for me without being distinct and I had to re-read sections to make sure I was following the right character.

Irritatingly a reader took it upon themselves to edit the copy I read, in parts, often not to any great merit. ( )
