Medium Dead: An Alexandra Gladstone Mystery

Medium Dead: An Alexandra Gladstone Mystery

Sure to delight readers of Jacqueline Winspear, Emma Jameson, and Laura Childs,Â this short novelÂ features Queen Victoria herselfâ€”and sheâ€™s rumored to have slain a local psychic in Newton-upon-Sea. Now the task of clearing her name and catching the real killer falls to Dr. Alexandra Gladstone.

Under Victoriaâ€™s reign, women are barred from calling themselves physicians, but that hasnâ€™t stopped Alexandra Gladstone. As the first female doctor in Newton-upon-Sea, she spends her days tending sick villagers in the practice she inherited from her father, with her loyal and sometimes overprotective dog, Zack, by her side.Â
Â
After the corpse of village spiritualist Alvina Elwold is discovered aboveground at a church boneyard, wild rumors circulate through the charming seaside village, including one implicating a certain regal guest lodging nearby. Tales of the dead Alvina hobnobbing with spirits and hexing her enemies are even more outlandishâ€”but as a woman of science and reason, Alexandra has no doubt that a murderer made of flesh and blood is on the loose.
Â
Finding out the truth means sorting through a deluge of ghostly visitors, royal sightings, and shifty suspects. At least her attentive and handsome friend Nicholas Forsyth, Lord Dunsford, has come to her aid. Alexandra will need all the help she can get, because sheâ€™s stumbled upon dangerous secretsâ€”while provoking a deadly adversary who wants to keep them buried.
