No Grave for a Lady
(2021)(The third book in the Mandrake Mystery series)
A novel by Emery Bonett and John Bonett
Her name was Lotte Liselotte. She was a world-famous German actress and a onetime flame of Adolf Hitler. And she had come to the lovely Channel island of Lyonesse to 'get away from it all.'
Then British publisher Andrew Adams, his charming wife Ashe, and assorted other tourists on the island found, to their consternation, that Fraulein Liselotte had indeed got away from it all – by getting herself murdered.
First published in 1959, No Grave for a Lady is a murder-mystery novel from the genre’s golden age.
'This is a witty, lively crime novel about the murder of an ageing film star. It takes place at an isolated seaside resort. The portrayal of the characters and their dialogue are excellent, especially the very convincing six-year-old boy and his mother. I loved this book' - Amazon review
‘A murder mystery well wrapped in several sets of unusual romances, all well resolved … Absolutely fabulous handling of a young boy and his loving, competent, appealing mother’ - Amazon review
‘Unexpected twists and entertaining touches and some thoroughly agreeable characters’ - Kirkus Reviews
