Murder on the White Cliffs: A Cozy Historical Murder Mystery

The Posie Parker Mystery Series, Book 8

By: L.B. Hathaway

Narrated by: Clare Wille

A seaside party house, a missing inventor, a woman falling from the white cliffs … and the return of an old flame? A chilling case for Posie Parker.

November, 1924.

Posie Parker, Private Detective, travels to the south coast to investigate the death of Elsie Moncreiff, a Housekeeper, who has fallen from the White Cliffs of Dover in a gale. But the question is, was it bad luck, or was it murder?

Elsie’s place of work was the glamorous cliff-side party house, White Shaw, and her employers were England’s renowned fashion designers, Petronella Douglas and Tony Stone, whose weekly parties - packed full of celebrities - are almost as famous as their clothes.

But it seems that the beautiful Elsie was not a normal Housekeeper. Her room has been ransacked from top to bottom, and although her staff claim she was faultless, Posie finds out Elsie had been fired only the night before she died. Why did Elsie recruit a blackmailing maid, Harriet, and a gorgeous professional dancer, Sidney, specially to her staff? Who is the blonde man she was seen with occasionally? And why is the dark, brooding Mickey O’Dowd, the Secretary, so hostile to Posie’s presence now? Elsie was up to something decidedly odd at White Shaw, but what?

When a body is discovered smouldering beneath the village bonfire, and the body count climbs, Posie realises there’s only one man she can rely on: her now-fiancée, Chief Superintendent Richard Lovelace of Scotland Yard, but he is busy himself at White Shaw, looking for famous Inventor Lord Boxwood, who has vanished. Together, can they stay safe and catch the killer before they strike again?

best yet. excellent plot, well crafted.

wonderful character development, great sub-plot, love the love story of Posy & Richard. Love the inclusion of children. I'm a fan of Clare Willie, but her American accent is dreadful and massively irritating. Sorry.

Wow

So intense and a tangled web that takes you in a mesmerizing journey. Love this series and narration!
