The Case of the Dead Domestic — Tam May

A lady's maid is getting too big for her britches. But does that justify murder?Everyone agreed: Arabella Parnell thought far too highly of herself. She worked her way up from scullery maid to lady's maid for one of Arrojo's finest families and personal friends of the mayor. She wrote letters to her former employer as if they were comrades. She flirted with some of the most prominent young men in the county.So the Arrojo police were hardly surprised when they find her dead among the shrubbery in a wealthy bachelor's conservatory.And yet, amateur sleuth and suffragist Adele Gossling can't help but wonder: Who was Arabella Parnell? Was she just a servant with arrogant manners and too much self-assurance? Or was she the victim of the pride and passions of powerful men, one of whom did her in? With only a hair comb, a broach, and a candlestick to go on, can Adele solve this case?Read how Adele and her psychic friend Nin unravel a shocking and twisted case inspired by a real-life early 20th-century unsolved crime!Enjoy the sixth book of this series featuring the sleuth with, as one reviewer puts it, a wonderful mixture of sassiness and sensitivity.~~~Don't forget to check out the other books in the Adele Gossling Mysteries!
