"This is what would happen if a trainee James Bond was asked to solve an Agatha Christie mystery, and it's brilliant." —Stuart Turton, bestselling author of The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle The raven had struck. And the thing was, she knew exactly who was next… London, 1960. Marion Lane, a twenty-five-year-old apprentice detective at the elusive Miss Brickett’s Investigations & Inquiries, is busier than ever and determined to prove herself worthy of an official Inquirer badge. But when her close friend's girlfriend, Darcy, is targeted by a dangerous gang leader and seeks out the Inquirers’ assistance, Marion cannot help but get involved. Just when Marion thinks she has the situation under control, Darcy disappears and the agency receives a package containing a dead raven. Everyone is puzzled by what the threat could mean, except for Marion. She recognizes it as the same calling card left on her mother's doorstep just before she died. With harrowing twists and turns, Marion Lane and the Raven's Revenge follows Marion’s most personal case to date. To uncover who is behind these ominous packages and find Darcy, she must piece together how they are related to her mother’s mysterious death and secretive past.

Really felt like there had to be some way to get the end result without the trope of making the MC the idiot that causes the entire downfall of everything. So disappointing and to have that little bit at the end where everyone is all happy and it's no big deal that their lives were completely rearranged? I don't know if I'll read another in this series if there even is another.
