The Lady From Burma by Allison Montclair

In this fifth book of the Sparks and Bainbridge mystery series, a woman comes to Iris and Gwen, looking for them to help her find a new wife for her husband. Adela Remagen is dying and wants to make sure her husband will find love again and not be alone. Mrs. Remagen feels that the Right Sort Marriage Bureau will be up to the task. Soon after their meeting, however, Mrs. Remagen is found dead. The investigating officer believes the death looks suspicious--and then someone else is found murdered. Iris and Gwen find themselves involved in both investigations. All this is in addition to running their business, managing their love lives, and (hopefully) finally gaining back legal and parental independence for Gwen (after losing it following the death of her husband, Ronnie, in World War II). Another enjoyable entry in the series.
