The third in the Ginger Gold Mystery series. Ginger has decided to stay in England, and open a dress shop called Feathers & Flair. As the shop opens, Ginger receives a letter from her young sister-in-law, Felicity, urgently asking her to come to Bray Manor. Apparently, Felicity's grandmother thinks the Manor has become haunted because things are going missing, or moved. Torn between opening her new shop, the appeal from Felicity, and her own feelings about the Manor, she now receives a phone call from Felicity that sends her and her friend, Haley, to Hertfordshire the next morning.
After arriving at her late husband's former home, she finds that his sister and grandmother have opened the Manor to the public, renting rooms to local groups for meetings to help keep the Manor going.
The next night there is a charity dance at the Manor, and Ginger finds that Felicity's new love interest is Captain Smithwick, someone Ginger knows from her secret past, but doesn't like or trust. The next morning, a young woman's murdered body is found. Once again, Ginger is drawn into investigating a murder, as is Scotland Yard Inspector Basil Reed, and the suspects are numerous.
Once again, I enjoyed reading this mystery. As are the other books in the series, it is set in the 1920s, with the fashion, transportation and attitudes of the time frame. Looking forward to the next few books in the series, which I have already purchased.
This is number 7 of my Mount TBR Challenge, as well as number 9 for my Craving for Cozies Challenge.
