Widow Lady Adelaide (Addie) & her ghost husband, Rupert are back; this time at a weekend house party for "neighbors"; where the hostess is found poisoned in her conservatory just prior to tea. I wasn't fond of this book, it fell flat due to the over abundance of narrative, lack of dialog & action (snooping) on Addie's part. Also tiring is Addie's continual haranguing of Rupert for his infidelities while he was alive. The narrative was rather boring and the over-done conclusion came out of nowhere. Fun read. I like this series about a 1920’s widow who is haunted by the ghost of her dead, philandering husband, Rupert. She’s met Detective Inspector Dev Hunter, who is half Indian in the first novel in the series. He’s in love with her but feels Lady Adelaide is out of reach for him. But. Murder keeping bringing them together. Addie is invited to a summer house party, but on arrival the hostess has committed suicide or was she murdered? Then there’s the remains of a long dead soldier found by the gardners followed shortly after by the governess who fell or was pushed down the stairs. Rupert is sneaking around gathering information and passing it to Addie who then passes it on to Hunter under comical circumstances. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

But when her hostess is found dead on the conservatory floor, Addie knows just who to callâ??Detective Inspector Devenand Hunter of Scotland Yard. Dev may not want to kiss Addie again, but he's anxious to solve the crime. Who would want to kill Pamela, the beautiful wife of one of Britain's greatest Great War heroes? Certainly not her devoted and wheelchair-bound husband, Sir Hugh Fernald. The other guests seem equally innocent and improbable. But despite all appearances, something is very wrong at Fernald Hallâ??there's a body buried in the garden, and the governess has fallen down the stairs to her death. Who's next? Addie and Dev must work together to stop another murder, and they have some help thanks to Rupert, Addie's late and unlamented husband. Rupert needs to make amends for his louche life on earth, and what better way to earn his celestial wings than catch a kil Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |

3 bodies in 4 days.
Addie attends some nearby friends, and who is there almost immediately to torment her? Right. The ghost of her philandering husband, Rupert. Then there is the first body, so she notifies The Yard and is fortunate enough to get DI Devenand Hunter, the very man she would LOVE to see more of. Always fun as well as a good mystery in this series!
I found the audio on sale and as it is narrated by Gemma Dawson, I chose audio.
