About this ebook

The next mystery book in a lively historical cozy series! A Russian prince. A wealthy heir. An impoverished earl's daughter. Which one will make an untimely exit from the London social scene?

"If you like a clever mystery, a handsome ghost, and the far-from-bereaved widow who can't find the elusive killer without Rupert's help, Who's Sorry Now? is just your cup of English murder."—Charles Todd, author of the Inspector Ian Rutledge mysteries and the Bess Crawford mysteries

London, England 1925. Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Devenand Hunter finds himself in the middle of a series of upper-class deaths in London. Bright Young People are being extinguished in their favorite night spots, from a sleazy private jazz club to the Savoy ballroom. Dev knows just the person to help him navigate the treacherous society waters: Lady Adelaide Compton, a marquess' daughter and widow of a Great War hero. Beautiful, clever, and kind, Addie is a unique woman—not the least because she's haunted by the irritating ghost of her deceased husband. Unfortunately, Dev has put her in jeopardy once before, nearly leading him to turn in his warrant card.

But Addie is nobody's victim: when her sister Cee is attacked, Addie turns to the inspector, offering her help... and it soon becomes clear that the two of them working together on these Scottish mysteries could lead to much more than merely solving crime.

Now he returns as a ghost and reluctantly works to keep Addie safe so he can move on. Meanwhile he is driving her nutz. Especially as she is finding the local police detective entirely too interesting. This time most of the goings on are in London where she is expected to chaperone her younger sister who only wants to go about to all of the clubs that cater to the younger set. And then there are a series of poisonings. All the while there is a bit of major robberies being pulled off by a gang of young women. The characters are all a bit wacky and the story moves along quickly. Loved it as much as the first in series!I found the audio on sale and as it is narrated by Gemma Dawson, I chose audio.Dreamscape Media/Poison Pen Press/Sourcebooks

    At first the narrative was down right boring, but as soon as the dialog & action began, the book improved.Lady Adelaide (Addie) & her deceased (now ghost) husband, Reggie, investigate the poisonings of a group of nightclubbing young friends as well as the actions of a member of the Forty Dollies (a gang of dolled up young women thieves)The book held my interest & next I'm on to the 3rd in the series.
