3 posts | 2 read
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 Clives cousin, Wallace, invites an estate agent in to assess the homes value, the agent is later found poisoned, throwing all of the Castles guests into suspicion. Clive and Henrietta are soon drawn into an investigation, which is slowed by an incompetent local inspector and several unexplained phenomenathe 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 contentuntil Oldrich Exely appears, proposing an option Elsie finds difficult to ignore. Melody Merriweather, still masquerading as a nun to aid Elsies 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...

Mehso-so

No. I'm sorry, but no. I read the first couple of books in this series and l really enjoyed them. Cox can write some strong characters. But this?
It's the end of the series and there's a lot of drama (even too much, that's of course just my feeling), but then everything (and l mean *everything*) works out just perfectly for everyone. Doesn't feel real to me.

The mystery is very lame, as is the revelation 'a la Poirot'.

Such a shame 😟
