Sure to delight readers of Jacqueline Winspear and Ellis
Peters, Medium Dead features Queen Victoria herself—and
she’s rumored to have slain a local psychic in
Newton-upon-Sea. Now the task of clearing her name and
catching the real killer falls to Dr. Alexandra Gladstone.
Under Victoria’s reign, women are barred from calling
themselves physicians, but that hasn’t stopped Alexandra
Gladstone. As the first female doctor in Newton-upon-Sea,
she spends her days tending sick villagers in the practice
she inherited from her father, with her loyal and sometimes
overprotective dog, Zack, by her side.
After the corpse of village spiritualist Alvina Elwold is
discovered aboveground at a church boneyard, wild rumors
circulate through the charming seaside village, including
one implicating a certain regal guest lodging nearby. Tales
of the dead Alvina hobnobbing with spirits and hexing her
enemies are even more outlandish—but as a woman of science
and reason, Alexandra has no doubt that a murderer made of
flesh and blood is on the loose.
Finding out the truth means sorting through a deluge of
ghostly visitors, royal sightings, and shifty suspects. At
least her attentive and handsome friend Nicholas Forsyth,
Lord Dunsford, has come to her aid. Alexandra will need all
the help she can get, because she’s stumbled upon dangerous
secrets—while provoking a deadly adversary who wants to keep
them buried.
