Today I'd like to shine a spotlight on a book on my TBR pile, part of a series in which I find myself behind! Curses are for Cads by Tamara Berry is the third book in the Eleanor Wilde Mystery series.
Blurb:As Sussex’s resident witch and pseudo psychic, Eleanor has grown
accustomed to somewhat strange requests for supernatural aid. So when
Nicholas‘s university pal, Sid Stewart, writes from the family’s remote
castle in Scotland, begging for Ellie’s services as a medium, Ellie is
only delighted to help.
Apparently, the recently deceased
patriarch of Sid’s family, Glenn Stewart, died before divulging the
whereabouts of an important cache of family heirlooms. The Stewart clan
hopes a clairvoyant can contact him from beyond the grave. Of course,
Ellie can’t actually commune with the dead. But faking it is the name of her game. She’s not worried, until . . .
Aboard the train for Oban, Ellie discovers that fellow medium Birdie
White is also heading to the Outer Hebrides to assist the Stewarts.
Birdie is a master in the art, serving as a spiritual consultant to
royalty and even assisting Scotland Yard on occasion. Ellie might not
trust the woman’s motivations, but Birdie’s skills are unquestionable.
But while Birdie is busy speaking with the dead, Ellie plans to talk to
living suspects—namely, the other residents and employees of the spooky
Stewart estate, who know a lot more than they’re letting on. Amid
swirling rumors of cursed treasure, whispered tales of ghostly pirates,
and a recent spate of preternatural murders, in order to catch the
killer Ellie must confront the most terrifying possibility of all—her
gift may be real . . .
Can't wait to visit the spooky Stewart Estate with Ellie! Sound like a very entertaining read. Thank you Kathy!
