Locked In - a Portia Adams Short

Portia Adams's to-do list:
* Study for torte exam.
* Register for driving lessons.
* Mend stockings.
* Solve my professor's murder.

Being a student at Somerville College in the 30s is hard enough. But when a teacher is found hanging in the College library, Portia has to act. Was it a suicide? That's what the constabulary are thinking. But they're not looking at the scene the way Portia is.

This classic locked-room mystery features some of your favourite characters from the Portia Adams Adventures, including Constable Brian Dawes and Sergeant Michaels of Scotland Yard.

Portia Constance Adams is a Canadian girl who arrives in 1930's London and discovers that 221 Baker Street has been passed down to her by her estranged grandfather, Dr. John Watson. She decides to pursue her destiny, following in the footsteps of her famous ancestors and solving crimes alongside -
and sometimes in spite - of Scotland Yard.
