Mystery Historical
A ghost in Colonial dress has been wreaking havoc at an old
plantation house in Virginia. The house is owned by
Elizabeth Smithwood, the best friend of Ellen McKenzie's
Aunt Mary. Mary is determined to fly to the rescue, and
Ellen has no choice but to leave her real estate business
and new husband to accompany her. Who else will keep the
old girl out of trouble? When Ellen and Aunt Mary arrive, they find that
Elizabeth's "house" comprises three sprawling buildings
containing all manner of secret entrances and passages, not
to mention slave cabins. But who owns what and who owned
whom? After Monty--the so-called ghost and stepson of
Elizabeth's dead husband--turns up dead in Elizabeth's
house, suspicion falls on her. Especially when the cause of
death is a poisoned glass of syllabub taken from a batch of
the sweet, creamy after-dinner drink sitting in
Elizabeth's refrigerator. Monty had enemies to spare. Why was he roaming the old
house? What was he searching for? To find the truth, Ellen
and her Aunt Mary will have to do much more than rummage
through stacks of old crates; they will have to expose two
hundred years of grudges and vendettas. The spirits they
disturb are far deadlier than the one who brought them to
Virginia. Murder by Syllabub is the fifth book of the Ellen McKenzie
Mystery series.
