In this gripping crime novel by Nina Bawden, Rose delivers shocking news to Celia: she’s pregnant with Celia's husband Humphrey's child. The situation escalates when a body is found in Little Venice along with Rose's handbag, leading Celia to enlist the help of her former lover, Will, to uncover the truth amidst mounting suspicions of murder and blackmail tied to the dubious establishment known as The Odd Flamingo. First published in 1954, this atmospheric tale intertwines scandal and intrigue in a post-war setting.
