Supernatural happenings…or not!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lady Anne Addison is at last about to be married to Tony, Marquess of Darkefell. That doesn’t slow her down in her investigations. Anne is in Bath preparing for the wedding. Her friend, Mrs Alethea Birkenhead, asks her to call at a private school for young ladies, run by Alethea’s friend Miss Sophie Lee, to enquire into troubling sightings to do with the paranormal.
What Anne finds can be explained away. What can’t be explained away is the atmosphere in the school.
In particular the girl who’s been the object of the hauntings, Miss Faithfull Collier, strikes Anne as someone who’s susceptible to these manufactured hauntings. Anne senses secrets being held back but obtains Faithfull’s promise that she’ll be careful. The bullying of Faithfull is quite a problem.
Anne is shocked when she is called to the school again. It seems Faithfull has jumped from a window to her death. Only that supposed suicide turns out to be suspicious! Anne has her hands full, what with managing her wedding, her separated parents, her intelligent but easily overwhelmed brother, and now a murder!
As one expects, Anne sails through, but not without being lured into a dangerous situation.
I had had my suppositions. They were verified in rather a nasty manner.
A lively read with Lady Anne well and truly in top form. And the wedding you ask?…
