Publisher's summary

Can the past really come back to haunt you?

Cambridge. Christmas 1922. Posie Parker has cleared a space in her hectic schedule to try to unravel a tragedy in her own family. But Posie’s past is hiding around every turn in the old university town. She finds herself taking on a new case which is positively teeming with ghosts, shadows, and secrets, where nothing is quite what it seems.

In a quest to find out what happened to Dr. William Winter, a brilliant Cambridge doctor who disappeared five years previously, Posie is forced to confront her own painful memories of the Great War. But just how safe is it really to go digging up the past? And will Posie get to spend Christmas this year with anything other than Mr. Minks, the office cat, and a lonely heart for company?

This is a classic golden age of crime mystery which will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey. The Vanishing of Dr Winter is the fourth book in the delightfully classic Posie Parker Mystery Series, although the novel can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story in its own right.

If you love an action-packed historical cozy crime with a feisty protagonist, buy The Vanishing of Dr. Winter now.

Like it a lot

When will the Author stop using the "sure bread as is bread":) in the last episode?
I do not care much for solving the crime only about her love life, the poor soul is not prosperous yet. Alreci is slow moving in that direction... I want to shoot him

Wow

This series just gets more interesting as it goes along. The background Posies time in the war were tough but realistic. Great mystery and great narration as usual!

A Most Enjoyable Read,

This story captured my attention from beginning to end. The storylines are very cohesive and do not disappoint. Posie's wartime remembrances were like reading her personal journal -reliving the bonds of friendship and hardship during and as a result of the war.

Love the ending

This is my third Posey Parker audible book and it is just as exciting as the other two. What I LOVE about this writing is there is this one thing that you would never guess that surprises you. That is what is keeping me an avid fan.

irksome

The repetitive use of the expression "sure as bread is bread" is irksome. Please find a thesaurus.
