Resumen del Editor

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.

Best one yet!

I’m hooked! This series gets better with each book. The characters are easy to love and the narrator is wonderful to listen to.

A wonderful book in the series

I absolutely love reading this series. Each book holds my attention and keeps me on the edge of my seat with suspense. The story continues to get better with each new book. Keep up the wonderful writing Helena!! 😁😄🤓🤩

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.

Wonderful

I am enjoying every book and can’t seem to put it down once I start reading

Thank you

very sweet and yet gripping

I love this series. I can't wait until the next one. I go back and listen to them again on occasion. can't get enough!

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.

Great little mystery!

I have fallen in love with Kitty and her gang. It's a great listen.

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.

No mystery here.

The bad guys were apparent from their introduction. Heroin and hero left me saying “don’t do it” every time. Was wishing the main characters were smarter and the solutions less cliche. Narration was lively although some interpretations didn’t fit the situation.

very predictable

Kitty is getting too reckless. takes her friends into danger, then shows great concern after the danger about them. This is a contradiction in a character. she gets severely hurt but gets up and runs around. not plausible action. logically, she should tell her boyfriend or the cops at such moments. not a well thought out plot.
