Blog Tour Calendar: ‘The Pluckley Psychic Historical Society’

I’m looking forward to this one. I won’t be reviewing it, I’m hosting an extract from the novel instead, so if you want to know what others think of the book I recommend the bloggers who are for an honest response.


BLURB

The Pluckley Psychic Historical Society is based in Pluckley, Kent, the most haunted village in England. Its founding members are the noted academic, historian, and Cambridge scholar Winston Hatherton, the white witch Florence Dearden, and the celebrated medium Jocasta Bradman. They are assisted by an 18th-century super-ghost called Jasper Claxton, although none of the society members are aware that Jasper is a ghost.


This is the third book in ‘The Ghost from the Molly-House’ series,and this book describes how the Psychic Historical Society was set up and goes back to the group’s first two official cases in 1919, just after the end of the first world war. The first story, ‘The Jewellery Box’ involves a 16th-century jewellery box made from precious metals, which is found buried in a garden and reveals a 400-year-old mystery.


The second story, ‘The Book of Souls’ is set in Huddersfield,England, at a place called Jubilee Tower or Castle Hill, which was built to commemorate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria and is on the site of ancient bronze and iron age settlements dating back 4000 years. An old book of spells is found, and once opened, it appears to have released something ominous.


The Ghost from the Molly-House series is a collection of amusing paranormal mysteries, which will appeal to fans of history, period detective novels, tales of haunted houses, and all things that go bump in the night.Although this is the third book in the series, the novel can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story in its own right.

Blog Tour Calendar: ‘The Convalescent Corpse’, by Nicola Slade


The Convalescent Corpse

A story of Family, Rationing and Inconvenient Corpses.


Life in 1918 has brought loss and grief and hardship to the three Fyttleton sisters. Helped only by their grandmother (a failed society belle and expert poacher) and hindered by a difficult suffragette mother, as well as an unruly chicken-stealing dog and a house full of paying-guests, they now have to deal with the worrying news that their late – and unlamented – father may not be dead after all.  And on top of that, there’s a body in the ha-ha.


‘I love it. A delightfully unusual mystery with wonderful characterisation and historical detail.’ – LESLEY COOKMAN BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF
THE LIBBY SARJEANT MYSTERY SERIES

Blog Tour Calendar: ‘She was the quiet one’

Last blog tour of the year, or for me, first blog tour of the new year, goes to HQ’s She Was The Quiet One  by Michele Campbell.

The Enright twins are dropped into a world of New England privilege when their mother dies and their paternal grandmother comes back into their lives. Shipped off to the prestigious Odell Academy, where their father and grandfather had gone to school, the twins react very differently. A death occurs and investigation ensues.

This book is my current reading and I look forward to reviewing it for you all on New Year’s Day.

Edit: This is the updated calendar.
