England, illness, family-dynamics, friendship, fraud, mystery, amateur-sleuth, 1870s, suspense***** Mina Scarletti has a very inquisitive and logical mind, a hazardous spinal condition, and life-threatening pneumonia. That does not stop her from wanting to help others by doing the things she does best. But her caring doctor and loved ones are making her nutz with their overzealous cossetting: bland pureed foods, withholding her mail, no other visitors, complete bedrest, etc. She understands their needs to protect her and she, too, hopes not to die but she needs more. Her private nurse reluctantly passes on information that makes Mina want to do whatever she can from her sickbed by asking certain other friends to help. And help they do! There is a presumed widow, her husband who probably drowned seven years ago, their fourteen year old son who believes that he is seeing the father's ghost as well as a psychic with a machine to help contact spirits (this part is relevant because Mina always debunks all such claims, much to the relief of others), a new husband, claims of fraud, and the craziness that is Mina's family. Even if I hadn't read other books featuring Mina, that wouldn't have stopped me from obsessively reading it into the night. There is enough referencing to keep the reader from feeling lost with regard to previous history. Of course I loved it! Great mystery with VERY complicated and surprising resolution. I requested and received a free ebook copy from Sapere Books via NetGalley. Thank You! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Another enjoyable and well-written Victorian mystery. The main characters are all likeable in their own way and this is a good addition to this fine series.
