The Curse of Arundel Hall

The Yellow Cottage Mysteries, Book 2

By: J. New

Narrated by: Jilly Bond

One ghost, one murder, 100 years apart. But are they connected?

Ella has discovered a secret room in the Yellow Cottage, but with it comes a ghost. Who was she? And how did she die? Ella needs to find the answers before either of them can find peace. But suddenly, things take a nasty turn for the worse.

Ella Bridges has been living on Linhay Island for several months but still hasn't discovered the identity of her ghostly guest. Deciding to research the history of her cottage for clues, she finds it is connected to Arundel Hall, the large Manor House on the bluff, and when an invitation to dinner arrives, she realizes it is the perfect opportunity to discover more.

However, the evening takes a shocking turn when one of their party is murdered. Is the Curse of Arundel Hall once again rearing its ugly head, or is there a simpler explanation?

Ella suddenly finds herself involved in two mysteries at once and again joins forces with Scotland Yard's police commissioner to try and catch a killer. But will they succeed?

Good English Village Mystery

Great narration, interesting characters, ghosts and all. But wishing no one in the village was the murderer. Oh well.

Maybe I missed something?

There seemed very little paranormal activity overall. Story seemed (an amateur) detective plot to me. It's rare, but this time I even guessed the murderer before The Big Reveal.

My new favorite author

I am enjoying this series, look forward to the coming books. Light reading, touch of tasteful humor.
