Civil Attorney. Boy Mom (x3). History Buff. Houser of Cats.
What happens when a victim isn’t innocent?
Does moral imperfection disqualify someone from our compassion?
Does vulnerability gain it?

Those instincts don’t just affect the characters in the Green Baize Door. They shape how the story itself is read.

Every girl was expected to learn some needlework.
Mending, patching, buttons — simple chores.

But in skilled hands, a needle could become something else entirely: a key to another life.

The Green Baize Door.

Before safety razors, every man used a straight razor — common, sharp, and nearly identical.
In The Green Baize Door, one lies beside the body.
Could you recognize your razor, if a man’s life depended on it?

1828, Old Bailey: An elderly housekeeper was murdered in an otherwise empty mansion. The police said the house was ransacked, but the owner reported nothing missing.

The case that inspired The Green Baize Door.

🕯 One house, two worlds, & a murder in between.
