Review: When Kate receives a letter asking her to visit Saltaire to hear something from the past she doesn't expect a dead body. This case is set in Saltaire (now a world heritage site) and she is hired to find out who is undercutting the Salts contract with Montague Burton. More bodies turn up....and Rosie Sykes is in hospital ..... Will Kate and Mrs Sugden fall foul of the curse of Milner Field? Will they solve the case? Love these characters. This is not a cosy mystery but a good book nonetheless as it tells of a time gone by. I hope there are more books about Kate Shackleton. If you like these try the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear. The writing style is easy to understand and it will keep you guessing but as time goes by you too will pick up the clues. Enjoy.

Review: The least interesting of all her novels. Could not really get into it. Sadly, almost boring.

    Description: Frances always said she'd be murdered. She was right. In 1965, seventeen-year-old Frances Adams was told by a fortune teller that one day she'd be murdered. Frances spent the next sixty years trying to prevent the crime that would be her eventual demise. Of course, no one took her seriously - until she was dead. For Frances, being the village busybody was a form of insurance. She'd spent a lifetime compiling dirt on every person she met, just in case they might turn out to be her killer. In the heart of her sprawling country estate lies an eccentric library of detective work, where the right person could step in and use her findings to solve her murder. When her great-niece Annie arrives from London and discovers that Frances' worst fear has come true, Annie is thrust into her great-aunt's last act of revenge against her sceptical friends and family. Frances' will stipulates that the person who solves her murder will inherit her millions. Can Annie unravel the mystery and find justice for Frances, or will digging up the past lead her into the path of the killer?.

But when an obnoxious member of their party is murdered, the group is thrown into disarray.
