The Whispering Women
MacEnulty, Trish

Louisa Delafield and Ellen Malloy didn't ask to be thrown together to bring the truth to light. But after Ellen witnesses the death of a fellow servant during an illegal abortion, Louisa, a society columnist, vows to help her find the truth and turn her journalistic talent to a greater purpose.
Together, these unlikely allies battle to get the truth out, and to avenge the wrongful death of a friend. What will our heroes do when their closest allies and those they trust turn out to be the very forces working to keep their story in the dark? They'll face an abortionist, a sex trafficking ring, and a corrupt system determined to keep the truth at bay.
"The Whispering Women features two lively female investigators who represent distinct social classes. Richly drawn characters, the vibrant historical setting, and a suspenseful mystery create a strong current that pulls readers into this delightful novel." -- Southern Literary Review
