Jemima Shore is a glamorous television journalist and amateur detective created by British author Antonia Fraser. She first appeared in the 1977 novel Quiet as a Nun, where she investigates mysterious events at her old convent school. Smart, independent, and well-connected in London’s media and social circles, Jemima has a knack for stumbling into dangerous situations that call for more than just journalistic curiosity.
Over eleven books, Jemima tackles cases that range from murders among the Scottish aristocracy to political scandals in Westminster. Her career in television gives her access to all sorts of people and places, which makes her an effective investigator even when the police would rather she stayed out of it.
