The Society Scandal of the Season...

Lady Adelaide Compton had prepared herself to say goodbye forever to Detective Inspector Devenand Hunter. It would be a welcome relief not to get mixed up in any more murders, even if it meant never working alongside the handsome detective again...wouldn't it?

But then Addie's prim and proper mother, Constance, the Dowager Marchioness of Broughton, is accused of murdering her secret lover, and there can't be enough gentlemen detectives on hand to find the truth. The dead Duke of Rufford appeared to lead a blameless life, but appearances can be deceiving. And unless Addie and Dev work together, Constance will hangâ??which is no one's idea of a happy ending.… (altro)

Lady Addy’s mother is arrested for murdering her lover. Addy needs the help of Inspector Dev Hunter, and of course her ghostly husband, Rupert, to find the real murderer. Lots of 1920s society hijinks, class distinction, and miscommunication before the exciting reveal of the real murderer.

This is the last book in this series and the author gives us a glimpse into the future of the characters at the end. ( )

Surprising happenings!

Rather laconic cosy mystery complete with 1922’s upper crust acting somewhat like overbred, skittish hounds. Lady Adelaide Compton’s roguish ghostly husband becomes involved. This is important if he’s to continue on to the celestial plane. He must redeem himself. Turns out a ghost can pickup a lot of useful information.
It seems Addie’s very proper mother has been having a secret affair with the now, very dead Duke of Rufford. Not only that, but the Dowager Marchioness has been accused of the Duke’s murder.
If the true culprit can’t be uncovered Addie’s mother will hang.
Addie needs the help of Detective Inspector Devenand Hunter, and of course, her very dead husband Rupert. Rupert’s inclusion somewhat rings bells of a twisted Topper movie. (1937).
Working with the delectable Dev again is an added bonus for Addie even in these dire times.

Addie has a dead philanderer of a husband (Rupert) who must continue on as a ghost until he has accumulated enough good deeds to move on, a mother who was doing a bit of philandering herself when she was caught with said paramour shot dead in her rooms. With her own gun. Addie also has a partner in detecting (DI Hunter of The Yard) who is on a short medical leave because of an injury and is present to do what detecting he can amongst the aristocracy. Add in a maid who feels that she is so very put upon, a bratty younger sister, and a raft of real characters in this lighthearted cozy mystery. I haven't read the earlier books and never felt lost. Good fun!
I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Poisoned Pen Press via Netgalley. Thank you! ( )

Sadness just makes me sigh,
I've come to say goodbye,
Altho' I go, I've got those farewell blues.
Those farewell blues make me yearn,
That parting kiss seems to burn.
Farewell, dearie, Someday I will return.
Dreaming of you is sweet,
Someday again we'll meet.
