The Cyanide Ghost (Mina Scarletti Mystery Book 6) Kindle Edition

by Linda Stratmann (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 75 ratings
More puzzling apparitions mystify Mina Scarletti in her next investigation! Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Antonia Hodgson…

Someone from Mina’s past has returned to plague her…

Brighton, 1872
.
Mina Scarletti is helping prepare for her brother Edward’s imminent wedding when she finds out Mr Beckler – a man who previously courted her under false pretences – is once more on the scene.

Mr Beckler claims to be able to capture spirits when taking photographs, and with her brother Richard now working for him, Mina is curious to see his pictures for herself.

She is shocked when the ghost of her father does indeed seem to appear in a photo taken of her family, yet certain it must be a fraud.

Mina soon realises that Beckler is targeting the families of the deceased whose spirits appear in his photographs, many of whom have died in mysterious circumstances.

And before long, Beckler’s claims attract her worst enemy back to Brighton…

Is Mr Beckler genuine in his claims to be able to photograph the dead? What connects the families he is targeting?

And is he determined once again to try and ruin Mina’s reputation…?

THE CYANIDE GHOST is the sixth cosy mystery in Linda Stratmann’s intriguing historical series, the Mina Scarletti investigations, a traditional British detective series with a feisty woman sleuth set in Victorian Brighton.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not so supernatural but very entertaining

    The entire series of Mine Scarlett I Mysteries are delightful books to read. I would recommend the series as a engaging read without graphic murder details. There are surprises with twists and turns. A fun read

    As usual with this series, the reader is drawn in not only by the main threads of the plot but into the lives of the characters. Once again I was sorry when I came to the end of this book. It seemed to arrive far too soon.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not one of the best stories but l remain a fan.

    It didn't have such an intriguing storyline as previous books so l was a bit disappointed. Mina Scarletti is a wonderful character and sadly she wasn't at her best in this book.
