Korte biografie
Cambridge-educated, British-born L.B. Hathaway writes historical fiction and contributes to a number of popular history magazines and websites. She worked as a lawyer at Lincoln's Inn in London for almost a decade before becoming a full-time writer. She brings her love of detective novels set in the Golden Age of Crime and an obsession with English history to her own writing. The Posie Parker series of cosy crime novels span the 1920s. They each combine a core central mystery, an exploration of the reckless glamour of the age and a feisty protagonist who you would love to have as your best friend. Her other interests, in no particular order, are: very fast downhill skiing, theatre-going, drinking strong tea, Tudor history, exploring castles and generally trying to cram as much into life as possible.

DNF. The dialogue was caricatured and unreal, a mixture of lowest common denominator language signifying class or origin and Bertie Wooster slang. I gave up at 18% having failed to find a scene or a character believable enough to draw me in, and thoroughly irritated by having a newspaper article and a private letter shouted at me in capital letters.

I liked the historical fiction aspects of this novella okay but the 'mystery' part of it was too fraught with coincidences (and basically no detection at all). Plus I didn't care for the little bit of paranormal that was slipped in.

While I enjoyed the mystery and the historical fiction, once again Hathaway put my back up with the introduction of a touch of the supernatural.
