The Slanderley Curse:
Nuns and Mayhem in Cornwall
"Beautifully written and impeccably researched."
"A twisty, gripping mystery that will keep readers guessing."
Kirkus Reviews
This mystery returns to the estate first presented in Slanderley: Love and Death in Cornwall. Kenal Gundry leaves his fishing village life for domestic service in Edwardian England. There his religious commitments put him at odds with the decadence of the outside world. Among strange people he will meet are a nymphomaniac, a Hungarian wine merchant, a Bohemian painter, and a precocious little girl.
Eventually hired by Lord Leo deLoverly of Slanderley, Kenal learns the estate is under a nun's curse. Victims pile up, with Kenal himself becoming a suspect. Within this backdrop, the larger theme concerns the coming of age of a young man ill-prepared for the emerging modern world. In accord with the location, British style humor falls in unexpected places.
