Publisher's summary

Kitty Underhay feels the touch...of death.

1934. Accidental amateur sleuth Kitty Underhay is being escorted by ex-army captain Matthew Bryant on an errand of mercy, as she takes a basket of grapes to her nemesis Mrs. Craven, who is recuperating from a recent operation. But their arrival at Elm House Nursing Home coincides with the mysterious death of Lady Wellings, a long-term resident.

The woman was known to be ill, so when the police turn a disinterested ear to Mrs Craven’s suspicion that Lady Wellings was poisoned, Kitty decides to look into the case herself. And when another invalid, the gentle Mrs. Pearson, collapses fatally in the breakfast room, it seems her suspicions are well-founded. For an institution promising health and rejuvenation, there seems to be a very low survival rate amongst the guests!

When the nurse Eloise Hibbert hints at sinister goings on among the staff, Kitty arranges to meet her away from the home to uncover how deep the treachery lies. However, before she can make the rendezvous, Eloise meets an unfortunate end falling from the top of the building. Was she pushed by the hand of fate, or a cold-blooded killer?

Meanwhile, Matt has been following an entirely different trail of evidence, and what he finds out chills him to the bone. When Kitty fails to return from her unsuccessful meeting, it is clear she has stumbled onto a plot far more devious than they could have imagined, and into a trap laid by an unscrupulous killer....

An utterly sensational and addictive Golden Age murder mystery. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Lee Strauss.

Another good one

I've enjoyed the continuation of this series. The author cleverly weaves new murder mysteries with the unresolved murder of Kitty's mother. I agree with other reviewers that the narrator is a strong asset. Unfortunately I don't think I'll use a credit on the next in the series with the change in narrators.

Great

What a terrible premise when someone is murdering elderly people at a recuperative home! Unfortunately even today, relatives can be vultures when wanting money! Mystery, murder, suspense- it has it all.

Slippery slopes ahead

Things become intense for Kitty. One thing happens after another and they get so close to getting answers but these villains are slippery. Can’t wait for the next installment to find out more.

Kitty and Matt's growing relationship.

Kitty is too fragile. she should be more able to defend herself in each scene.

Too long and drawn out

I made it to chapter 10 but I've grown tired at how drawn out it is. I'm done with this series. First couple were good.
