Overview

A spooky tower, a sour historian, and one messy murder. The calm at Audley Castle shatters when Bluebell Brewster, a brilliant but sharp-tongued restorer, is found dead inside the castle's supposedly haunted turret. The evidence says murder. The castle whispers say ghost. Holly says something's definitely off. Bluebell clashed with almost everyone on the restoration team, but suspicion falls squarely on mild-mannered Herbert, a man so gentle Holly can't picture him harming a cupcake, let alone a colleague. Determined to uncover the truth, Holly teams up with Campbell, the castle's head of security. Between questioning jumpy restorers, limping on an injured ankle, and wondering why Princess Alice is ignoring her, Holly has her hands full. And the deeper she digs, the more she uncovers a mess of jealousy, buried secrets, grudges, and motives stickier than a lemon drizzle glaze. With Meatball the corgi by her side and danger rising, Holly has to solve the case before the killer strikes again. And this time, the surprise waiting for her is more shocking than the murder. *** Perfect for fans of crime mysteries, English village whodunits, laugh-out-loud moments, and twisty clues. Large print edition. Recipe included.

I love them all, especially Holly, Meatball, and Lord Rupert."" ""The castle may never be the same with the revelations that have appeared in this new volume featuring some of my favorite characters. Things that were previously unspoken are finally being said and new things have come to light. Lady Phillipa is delightfully active."" ""Things are going topsy turvy for Holly: she twists her ankle, members of the renovations team at the castle are killed and Alice is showing Holly the cold shoulder because she is ""busy"". All that doesn't stop Holly from investigating and the book has some big surprises for Holly."" ""Very well written, had me guessing til the end. Loved the ending!!!"" ""This was the perfect story.""
