3 bodies in 4 days.
Addie attends some nearby friends, and who is there almost immediately to torment her? Right. The ghost of her philandering husband, Rupert. Then there is the first body, so she notifies The Yard and is fortunate enough to get DI Devenand Hunter, the very man she would LOVE to see more of. Always fun as well as a good mystery in this series!

Addie is a widow whose husband was brave in the Great War but became a real bounder and died in a motor accident. Now he returns as a ghost and reluctantly works to keep Addie safe so he can move on. Meanwhile he is driving her nutz. Especially as she is finding the local police detective entirely too interesting. This time most of the goings on are in London where she is expected to chaperone her younger sister who only wants to go about to all of the clubs that cater to the younger set. And then there are a series of poisonings. All the while there is a bit of major robberies being pulled off by a gang of young women. The characters are all a bit wacky and the story moves along quickly. Loved it as much as the first in series!
