Mr Scarletti's Ghost
(2015)(The first book in the Mina Scarletti Mystery series)
A novel by Linda Stratmann
The first book in a cosy Victorian mystery series, with a feisty female lead! Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Antonia Hodgson...
Those grieving for their lost loved ones are desperate to communicate with the dead once more. But are they falling prey to unscrupulous fortune hunters?
Psychics and mediums have become all the rage in fashionable Brighton. But can they really communicate with the dead?
Mina Scarletti, a local authoress, is sceptical. But when her recently widowed mother insists on hosting a séance, she agrees to take part.
Miss Eustace certainly seems convincing, and there is no doubt that she has amassed plenty of loyal followers, but why are the meetings always held in the dark? And why is her address kept a secret?
Plagued with doubts and concerned that her mother and her vulnerable friends may be falling prey to conmen and tricksters, Mina decides to investigate. Under the ploy of wishing to communicate with her dead father’s – Mr Scarletti’s – ghost, she leaves no stone unturned in her quest for the truth.
Is Mina right to doubt the spiritualists? Can she convince her mother she is being duped by a fraudster?
MR SCARLETTI’S GHOST is the first cosy mystery in Linda Stratmann’s intriguing historical series, the Mina Scarletti Mysteries, a traditional British detective series with a feisty woman sleuth set in Victorian Brighton.
