Death at Dovecote Hatch: A Florence Norris Mystery
Dorothy Cannell
2015, 251 pages
Fiction
Housekeeper Florence Norris notices mysterious things. Florence sees a woman standing near the edge of the track at a train station and wonders if she is thinking of suicide. She is also concerned about Kenneth Tenneson’s fatal fall at his country estate. Was it really an accident? Is this linked somehow to Kenneth Tenneson’s young ward, Mercy? Why is there a strange man hanging around the village? And who will get to keep the little dog Rex?
The interesting characters and multiple plot lines make this an intriguing story. It follows after Murder at Mullings, but they can be read out of order. If you like Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey, you should try this historical mystery.
