Violet was unmarried because she didn't want to be married, but her father tried every day to introduce her to a new suitor.

Violet's mother disappeared when she was younger, but had informed her of what duties a wife would have to perform, and she wanted no parts of it.

Ten years after her mother disappeared, she decided to hire a detective without her father's knowledge.

Violet found a detective that was quite different and one that Violet didn't like.

So...Violet tried to get another detective who owned a second-hand shop to help her.

She was a determined, delightful woman for one living in the 1800s.

We follow her as she finds out information about her mother she really doesn't want to know as well as her avoidance of suitors.

Will she find out what happened to her mother?

Will Violet change her mind and find love for herself?

NO LIFE FOR A LADY is a funny, entertaining book that will actually have you laughing out loud at times.

Readers who need a change of pace and a quirky, lovable main character will enjoy this book.

You will be happy you met Violet.

She will make you smile at her antics and her attempts at being a modern lady in the 1800s.
