About this listen

You can hunt. But do you really want to find?

Bonfire Night, November 1924

Posie Parker once failed a client. And now that client is dead.

Elsie Moncreiff, a housekeeper, has fallen from the White Cliffs of England in a howling storm. But the question is, was it bad luck, or was it murder?

Armed with just her guilty conscience and a less-than-helpful Sergeant Rainbird for company, Posie vows to get to the bottom of things. But what she finds is not at all what she was expecting.

Elsie’s place of work was the glamorous White Shaw on the English Riviera. Her employers were England’s best fashion designers, whose weekly parties are almost as famous as their clothes.

Against the backdrop of Bonfire Night, Posie must piece together what was happening down here. It seems that Elsie was not a normal housekeeper. She was up to something odd. But what?

As intruders appear, and the body count climbs, Posie realizes there’s only one man she can rely on: her fiancée, Chief Superintendent Richard Lovelace of Scotland Yard. Together, can they catch the killer before they strike again?

Murder on the White Cliffs is the eight book in the Posie Parker Mystery Series, although the novel can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Another brilliant Posie Parker Mysery

I can't wait for the next chapter in the life of this young lady detective.

Cracking Story

I love Posy Parker, she comes with me on many journeys, short and long. This story bounces along quite nicely, and left me guessing who dunit until the end. Ms Hathaway captures the essence of the period with a fabulous cast of characters and more than a hint of romance, glamour, danger, and espionage. I want to be Posy when I grow up, but at my age, I don't think I have her energy. Another wonderfully narrated story from a genius at her art and craft. Ms Wille has a magician's voice and all her characterisations are eminently believable. I loved this book, now for the next one...

Excellent

A good follow up to earlier Posy mysteries. This one with many twists and turns and 2 main interwoven but distinct stories. Loved it.

series getting very formulaic

I've enjoyed this series but there are too many of the same themes and tropes that come up over and over again. twins - how many sets of twins do you know?! everyone seems to be part of a twin or popping out twins and for no apparent reason a lot of the time, I just find it puzzling. a massive shoot out at the end where someone heroically dies or is injured. Every man is in love with Posie. Ghosts. Duel identities. people conveniently dying to make way for contrived relationships. I dunno, i know we aren't striving for realism here but the plots are getting more ridiculous and repeating themselves!
