Overview
Mixing Romance and Mystery in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!”
In this seventh book of the series, Clive and Henrietta return to England to find Castle Linley in financial ruin. When Clive’s cousin, Wallace, invites an estate agent in to assess the home’s value, the agent is later found poisoned, throwing all of the Castle’s guests into suspicion. Clive and Henrietta are soon drawn into an investigation, which is slowed by an incompetent local inspector and several unexplained phenomena—the cause of which many, especially the frail Lady Linley, believe to be the workings of the ghost of a hanged maid.
Meanwhile, Gunther and Elsie have begun life on a farm in Omaha. Circumstances are difficult, but they are content—until Oldrich Exely appears, proposing an option Elsie finds difficult to ignore. Melody Merriweather, still masquerading as a nun to aid Elsie’s escape, likewise finds it difficult to ignore a letter with tragic news from home, while Julia, on the other hand, receives a very different sort of letter from Glenn Forbes.
Back in England, Clive is called away to London on suspicious business, leaving Henrietta to carry on with the investigation alone. When she is mysteriously locked in the study one night, however, things take on a more deadly, supernatural feel, leaving her to fear that Lady Linley’s “ghost” might just be real after all…
Review
Clive and Henrietta are drawn back to England. Castle Linley is in financial ruin and Clive’s cousin, Wallace, needs to sell. He invites an estate agent to evaluate how much money the Castle is worth. However, the agent is found dead, poisoned. Clive and Henrietta are on the case!
I loved Henrietta in this novel. It is her best performance yet…and she is one of my favorites…so it’s hard to top some of her escapades. Add in the old castle with the ghostly feel, I was in heaven!
This is the final book in this series and it is the best one, in my opinion. It is not necessary that you read the others in this series first. But I would read them…you will be missing out! Nothing like this wonderful team, Clive and Henrietta are the best!
Need a wonderful, ghostly tale…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today!
I received this novel from the author for a honest review.
