The Convalescent Corpse by Nicola Slade
A story of Family, Rationing and Inconvenient Corpses.
Life in
1918 has brought loss and grief and hardship to the three Fyttleton sisters.
Helped only by their grandmother (a failed society belle and expert poacher)
and hindered by a difficult suffragette mother, as well as an unruly
chicken-stealing dog and a house full of paying-guests, they now have to deal
with the worrying news that their late – and unlamented – father may not be
dead after all. And on top of that,
there’s a body in the ha-ha.
‘I love it. A delightfully unusual mystery with
wonderful characterisation and historical detail.’ - LESLEY COOKMAN BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF
THE LIBBY SARJEANT

5 stars!
Delightful world building and fun, unusual characters populate this interesting historical novel.
If you enjoyed Downton Abbey, especially the years when their home was used for medical recovery purposes, you will appreciate this book.
Mystery, romance, and plucky, strong female characters are all part of the appeal.
The Fyttleton family is full of surprises, even to each other.
