Listen for the whistler . . .
About the Book:
In this time-travel/cozy mystery, PhD student Gwyneth Camm discovers a gothic romance
novel on the foyer floor of her centuries old home—and understands immediately
her deceased Aunt Ethel is at it again: Gwyn is to enter the story and stand in
for its 1970s heroine.
While
traveling abroad, Gwyn tours the historic home of an English baronet and notes
her uncanny resemblance to a supposed seventeenth-century witch in a family
portrait. Something of an expert in the history of witch trials, she soon
becomes the baronet’s guest—as well as the target of the malevolent force known
as “the whistler.”
Gwyn must face the danger head-on, for
solving the mystery is the only way she’ll get back home.
Our Review: this vastly entertaining story offers fans of gothic
romances, cozy mysteries, a bit of history and—for this reviewer—flashbacks to
the 1970s one real treat. This is the perfect beach read—or maybe cozied up in
your favorite lounge chair at the edge of a sunny perennial garden. As in
previous Gothic Gwyn mysteries, our heroine is not to be deflected in her
designated mission: exposing the truth behind the mystery. The secondary
characters are especially well drawn, adding color and humor to the mix. An
added attraction—again for cozy fans—is the inclusion into what will come in
the next Gwen adventure.
Based on a scale
of 1-5, Whistle While You Lurk merits a 5.
