Murder Between the Lines takes place in 1915 amid the mounting tensions of World War One. Kitty (full name Capability) Weeks is a reporter for the New York Sentinel's Ladies' Page. For her latest assignment, she is sent to interview the headmistress of Westfielf Hall, an elite all-girls boarding school. Though not featured in her article, Kitty is drawn to student Elspeth Bright and her scientific research. On Christmas Day, Elspeth is found dead and Kitty believes she has been murdered. Kitty begins to dig into Elspeth's death and her research about batteries. Her investigations lead her to the Women's Suffrage Movement, President Wilson's policies, submarine warfare and the United States Navy, and again to Westfield Hall where all is not as it seems.
I enjoyed this story and liked the character of Kitty. I was not completely satisfied with the novel's ending and the resolution to Kitty's investigations.
