Synopsis
The first book in Lilian Harry's much-loved Corner House Girls Series
When cousins Jo Mason and Phyl Jennings decide to become Lyons Corner House waitresses, or “Nippies” as they are known for their speedy service, they have no idea how their lives are about to change. They are transported from a factory and a grocer’s shop to the wonderful dining rooms of Lyons at Marble Arch and they swap their old overalls for the smart uniforms of the Corner House girls. Although being a Nippy involves hard work, Jo and Phyl settle in easily. There are friendships and romances, but as the Second World War becomes increasingly imminent, the future of these men and women seems uncertain. Lilian Harry draws you into a web of warm and likeable characters in this delightful tale of friendship and love, and her vivid storytelling brings this fascinating period of British history to life.

No sooner has the cruise on the Nile begun, however, than events quickly unravel: an attempt is made on Ethelred's life; the boat's engine explodes, and a passenger is found murdered. As the boat drifts out of control, suspicion falls on everyone aboard - including Ethelred.
