   Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) Stephen.Lawton | Aug 7, 2021 |  I enjoyed this cozy mystery, and it is a good solid start to the series. I probably would have preferred it to be a straight mystery without a ghost. A NetGalley Book. (  ) Vesper1931 | Jul 29, 2021 | Lady Adelaide, fresh out of mourning for her husband the sneak,playboy and all around adulterer is hosting her first get together at her stately mansion, when dead bodies start pilling up. Worse, her husband, Rupert has come back from the dead to harass Lady A and help her solve the murders. Rupert has been told by the "Big Guy" that he is assigned to assist and aid Lady A or he wont get into heaven. Lady A wants nothing to do with Rupert since she believes ,throughout the book she is going crazy. Totally funny book ! Rupert,dead and a ghost following Lady A around, yes even in the bedroom, making snide remarks about everyone and doing his best to distract Lady A from falling in love with the Scotland Yard officer among other things. You cant help but laugh at this book . (  ) DDJTJ1 | Jan 16, 2021 | This was one of the most delightful mysteries I've read in quite some time. The mystery plot was well written and kept me guessing until the end. The story was witty and had just the right amount of romance sifted in to keep it interesting without being a romance novel. The characters were well developed and fit the story and setting perfectly. Other than a few instances where the characters said phrases that seemed a little too modern for the time frame, this was a perfect mystery novel. I hope to see more in this series in the future. Thanks to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book, which I received in exchange for an honest review. ( ) BookishHooker | Dec 16, 2019 | Lady Adelaide is a very recent widow who is about to have a small house party (despite societal conventions) for a few close friends, when the ghost of her philandering husband shows up. When an uninvited local neighbor & wild society divorcee is found dead & undressed in Addie's barn, there are no few suspects. Almost everyone at the house party disliked the dead woman, including the men whom she had flings with. Addie, her ghostly husband (who has a talent for eavesdropping), & a Scotland Yard Inspector work to solve the case. ( ) Auntie-Nanuuq | Sep 20, 2019 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: The first mystery book in a rollicking new historical cozy series! When Lady Adelaide's dinner party is visited by lady death, she'll have to partner with the irksome spirit of her dead husband to crack the case... "A lively debut filled with local color, red herrings, both sprightly and spritely characters, a smidgen of social commentary, and a climactic surprise."â??Kirkus Reviews A delightful English cozy series begins in August 1924. Lady Adelaide Compton has recently (and satisfactorily) interred her husband, Major Rupert Charles Cressleigh Compton, hero of the Somme, in the family vault in the village churchyard. Rupert died by smashing his Hispano-Suiza on a Cotswold country road while carrying a French mademoiselle in the passenger seat. With the house now Addie's, needed improvements in hand, and a weekend house party underway, how inconvenient of Rupert to turn up! Not in the flesh, but inâ??actually, as aâ??spirit. Rupert has to perform a few good deeds before becoming welcomed to heavenâ??or, more likely, thinks Addie, to hell. Before Addie can convince herself she's not completely lost her mind, a murder disrupts her careful seating arrangement. Which of her twelve houseguests is a killer? Her mother, the formidable Dowager Marchioness of Broughton? Her sister Cecilia, the born-again vegetarian? Her childhood friend and potential lover, Lord Lucas Waring? Rupert has a solid alibi as a ghost and an urge to detect. A debaucher in life and an annoyance in death, Addie knows she can't leave Rupert to solve the murders of her sweet old gardener and a naked neighbor by himself. Enter Inspector Devenand Hunter from the Yard, an Anglo-Indian who is not going to let some barmy society beauty witnessed talking to herself derail his investigation. Something very peculiar is afoot at Compton Court and he's going to get to the bottom of itâ??or go as mad as its mistress trying.
