The Drollery Letters Number One: The Case of the Devil's Interval

A slyly humorous mystery perfect for fans of THE INCORRIGIBLE CHILDREN OF ASHTON PLACE about a ghost who tries to solve the mystery of her family's murder while dodging two ghost hunters among other obstacles in Boston in the early 1800s.Josephine Drollery is a very disgruntled new ghost. She, her parents, her future fiance and many other dinner guests have been murdered, although only Josephine's spirit still lingers. It was at that ill-fated dinner party that Josephine first met Mr. Edmund Serious, billing himself as The Great Montesquieu, Prophet of the Mystic River, and two other entertainers, Mr. Coffin and his harpist Mr. Cank, whose performace of a tune -- "The Devil's Interval" -- terrifies ladies and is forbidden in proper society. Now Josephine must team up with Serious to find the murderer, uncover more plots, and outwit two industrious ghost-hunters hot on Josephine's ghostly trail.
