Book excerpt: If you’re looking for a humorous historical small-town cozy who-done-it series featuring a smart and sassy amateur woman sleuth, you’ve come to the right place! ~~~ Don't forget to check out the other books in the Adele Gossling Mysteries! A lady’s maid is getting too big for her britches. But does that justify murder? Everybody in town agrees: Arabella Parnell thinks far too highly of herself. She worked her way up to lady’s maid for one of Arrojo’s finest families, personal friends of the mayor. She attends parties given by the lady of the house as if she were the guest of honor. She writes letters to the daughter of her wealthy former employer as if they were comrades. She flirts with some of the most prominent men in the county. So the Arrojo police are hardly surprised when they find her dead among the shrubbery in a wealthy bachelor’s conservatory. And yet, amateur sleuth and suffragist Adele Gossling can’t help but wonder: Who was Arabella Parnell really? Was she just a servant with arrogant manners and too much self-assurance? Or was she the victim of the pride and passions of powerful men, one of whom did her in? With a hair comb, a brooch, and a candlestick to go on, can Adele solve this case? Read how Adele and her psychic friend Nin unravel a shocking and twisted case inspired by a real-life, early 20th-century unsolved crime! Enjoy the sixth book of this series featuring the sleuth with, as one reviewer puts it, “a wonderful mixture of sassiness and sensitivity.”
