The Mecklenburgh Square Affair: A Gripping Cozy Murder Mystery with a Ghostly Twist (The Bloomsbury Bookshop Mysteries Book 3)
By Imogen Penrose
The cat has forgiven the radiator. The ghost has gone quiet, which she never does. And a foreman’s torch has found a man folded against a cellar wall, behind an iron door that was on no plan.
He was twenty-six, and cataloguing the Ansell papers, in 1973.
The family said he had gone to America.
Crispin Fell reads houses for television. He has found the one that will make his name, and he means to have it alone.
Nine days after the door comes down he is dead beneath it.
Cleo Marchmont sells second-hand books in Bloomsbury. She reads provenance for a living.
No purchase. No bequest. No accession.
A granddaughter with a sale to close. A producer written out of the film that was to make him. A cousin who keeps the flame, and the run of the place.
One of them can describe the inside of that room.
A house can hold its breath a long time.
The Mecklenburgh Square Affair is the third Bloomsbury Bookshop Mystery. For readers of Lucy Connelly, Verity Bright, and Jackie Baldwin.
