While I enjoyed the mystery and the historical fiction, once again Hathaway put my back up with the introduction of a touch of the supernatural. (

December 1922 and Posie Parker, private investigator is approached by Felicity Fyre, ex-nurse, to determine if her husband, Dr. Winter, is still alive and not killed during the war in 1918. Can events from the war echo through the years to 1922.
An enjoyable cozy mystery (
