Book Review: If you love books . . .
Summary: 5 Stars

Tom Ashe had been a fairly frequent visitor to the store, occasionally making small purchases, as though to justify his presence there. But his sudden death proves disturbing, in more ways than one, for Dido is named executor of his estate. Estate? Well, yes, there is one. And an endearing, elderly widow, plus a pseudo son. All inquiries into Tom's life end up being balked by a secret service edict. Just who was Tom Ashe, anyway? And how did he acquire a considerable estate?

Dido is an intelligent, curious woman with an obvious love for books, and that's just how she acts. She's not superwoman by any means, but that curiosity does get her into trouble. All the clues are nicely laid out, just waiting to be picked up. This is a very civil type of book, one which could almost just as easily have been written fifty years ago, with its ambiance of small-town London. I loved it.

Summary of Ghost Walk

Ashe's illness turns out to be a relatively mild reoccurrence of the malaria he picked up in his military service--a relief that turns to bewilderment when Ashe first disappears, then shows up, hands Dido an exotic necklace, mutters a few mysterious words, and drops out of sight again. The next day Dido discovers he has been murdered.

Determined to find Ashe's killer, and convinced that the necklace is a clue to his secret, Dido and Barnabus begin a search that leads to a surprising truth about Ashe's past life and the bearing of a nightmarish past full of deceit and treachery, as well as peril for Dido and her father.
