A Bellehaven House Mystery

review 1: I ain't afraid of no ghost. When Kathleen Duncan is killed, Bellehaven's headmistress Meredith Llewellyn decides to solve the crime since the local constable does not seem interested. She starts to see Kathleen's ghost who guides her along the path of discovery. What ensues in an interesting story. Headmistress Llewelyn is aided by the other two tutors in the school. Felecity who hates men and Essie who is afraid of her own shadow (or is she?) Comic relief is provided by housemaids Olivia and Grace who bumble their way through several misadventures involving suffragettes. I enjoyed this book
review 2: This book reminds me of a meringue cookie. In concept it sounds good. It looks appealing, but there really isn't much there but sugar and air. It's a good ... morebook if you have time to spare and don't need anything taxing. It takes place in England during the suffrage movement, so that is part of the back drop. There's a murder at a school for young women and the "insufferable" men are so dismissive about the death of a female teacher who was "asking for it" since she was out walking in the garden at night, that the headmistress must solve the crime. But she does so with the help of the ghost of the victim who spends most of the book appearing as a floating mist, unable to do anything but point at flowers. So there's not much going on as far as the mystery is concerned. less
