The three young women’s lives become inexorably intertwined after a chance meeting at a ball that ends with the discovery of a murdered mystery man.<\/p>\n<p>It’s up to these three, in their own charming but bold way, to solve the murder — and the crimes they believe may be connected to it — without calling too much attention to themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Told with Adrienne Kress’s sharp wit and a great deal of irreverence, this Steampunk whodunit introduces three unforgettable and very ladylike — well, relatively ladylike — heroines poised for more dangerous adventures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/5623269-the-friday-society\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THE FRIDAY SOCIETY<\/a>\u00a0got a\u00a0<strong>starred<\/strong>\u00a0review from Quill & Quire!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Purchase a copy:<\/span>\u00a0<a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780803737617\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Indiebound<\/a>,\u00a0<a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Friday-Society-Adrienne-Kress\/dp\/0803737610\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon\u00a0USA<\/a>, <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Friday-Society-Adrienne-Kress\/dp\/0803737610\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon Canada<\/a>, <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chapters.indigo.ca\/en-ca\/books\/The-Friday-Society-Adrienne-Kress\/9780803737617-item.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Indigo<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/5623269-the-friday-society\">Find<em>\u00a0The Friday Society<\/em>\u00a0on Goodreads<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><strong>REVIEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>“This book is pure fun and adventure, and the author\u2019s casual, irreverent sense of humour is apparent on every page.” –\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.quillandquire.com\/books_young\/review.cfm?review_id=7817\">Quill and Quire<\/a>, starred review<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[A] rowdy steampunk adventure . . .
