Title: The Mystery of Ruby's Sugar
Author: Rose Donovan
Date: 2017
Publisher: Moon Snail
Quote: "[A] certain person...said that while we're there, we might perhaps be able to carry out an assignment that would help our cause."
That would be the cause of subverting colonial and/or capitalist enterprise. Ruby and Fina are university students who belong to a "radical," somewhat secret, left-wing group. Invited to display their dress designs to rich ladies who like their weekend work, the girls will be spying on the men in the family, perhaps stealing documents that can be used to hurt the men's business! What fun!
Rose Donovan sent out free copies of an e-book that pretends to be the whole novel but only actually contains the first three chapters. Somehow that seems in the spirit of these treacherous girls. I'm not saying I recommend this book or writer, but this plot may interest somebody Out There--that's your business. I don't judge. Well, I judge the everlovin' daylights out of books, but I don't judge readers.
