Synopsis

Spring, 1909, and Lady Hardcastle, amateur sleuth and all-round eccentric, is enjoying a well-deserved rest. But a week after a trip to the cattle market, Spencer Caradine, a local farmer, turns up dead in the pub, face-down in his beef and mushroom pie. Once again, it is up to Lady Hardcastle and her maid, Florence, to solve the case.Armed with wit and whimsy, not to mention Florence’s mean right hook, the pair set out to discover what really happened and why. Was it poison or just ill luck?As they delve further into their investigation, they encounter a theft where nothing is stolen, a séance with a troubled ghost and an ever-increasing number of Spencer’s family and friends who might just have motive for murder. One thing’s for sure: Lady Hardcastle has a mystery on her hands.Revised edition: Previously published as The Spirit is Willing, this edition of In The Market For Murder includes editorial revisions.

I was surprised at just how much I enjoyed this! I loved that the story was from the lady's maid perspective, especially with her being such a sharp witted narrator, and this was so charmingly funny and atmospheric. There were even flashes of writing that I would describe as "Christie-esque." All in......more
