(2027)(The sixth book in the Miss Busby investigates series)
A novel by Zoe Markham and Karen Baugh Menuhin
THE GHOST IN GOLDMiss Busby Investigates, Book Six
When the village medium of Barton Parva is found stabbed to death at her séance table, Inspector McKay has a week to solve the case, and a wedding to get to. Quietly, and with his customary combination of shrewdness and stubbornness, he enlists the help of Miss Isabelle Busby.
What begins as the murder of a dumpy, low-voiced woman who told fortunes by candlelight soon reveals something far stranger. Marion Sylvester is not who she appears to be. The gold that glittered under the crystal ball was never conjured from the spirit world. It was stolen from the grieving, one sitting at a time. And the web of deception stretches back years, through a private hospital near Woodstock, a long-buried crime, and an amateur painting that hides a confession in plain sight.
Five suspects attended the luncheon where Marion's name was first spoken aloud. One of them came back to settle a debt the law could never collect.
With Barnaby at her heels, her blue notebook in hand, and Adeline Fanshawe creating cheerful havoc beside her, Miss Busby must crack a puzzling case before the wedding and discover that in a parlour full of secrets, the most dangerous truth was the one hiding in plain sight all along.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
