and a half and a hundred times more fearsome. I wouldn’t have been surprised if she’d pressed charges against her own niece.

Thankfully it’s all resolved now and Eloise and Frank can start their new life together in quite some comfort. I don’t think she’s a bad person really, just someone desperately in love who did what she thought she had to. It turns out opal beads are worth a pretty penny, as are diamond earrings. However, whether she gets to wear the Princeton tiara at the wedding is a subject much talked of, I hear, in the drawing rooms of the Upper East Side!

Anyway, once all the interviews with the police were concluded, James marched me off to a rather fancy shop called Saks Fifth Avenue, which takes up a whole ‘block’ of that famous shopping street. Kitty, you would be in heaven there, I tell you. We walked through a carpeted ground floor full of glass counters that shone with lights displaying the fanciest of gloves and stockings and ALL the Revlon and Max Factor lipsticks one could hope for.

As promised by James, he has bought you Hollywood Red, which the saleswoman behind the counter assures me has been tested by the company’s new Kissing Machine and it won’t come off even after you’ve had three or four smooches with Mr Rivers’s son in the cowsheds.

After the make-up counters we went up to Ladies’ Clothing and poor James looked awfully awkward as we had to walk through the lingerie section to get to outerwear. But once there he insisted on buying me a new winter coat, such was the soaking and chills I got in my old trench coat while we had our on-deck adventures. And despite its warmth and being in a rather beautiful forest green colour, the very best thing about it is the pockets. James says I shall be able to sleuth my way through the winter now with room for a torch, notebook, pencil and whistle about my person at all times.

Dear friend, I can’t wait to see you, and apologies again for this extra ‘stopover’ on my way home. I shall make it up to you by telling you all about the wonderful Christmas decorations the stores have put up here and how magical New York is in the snow, of which there is currently plenty falling outside of my fourteenth (fourteenth!)-floor window.

Oh and did you get the clue from my scribbles I posted as we docked? A fortified wine is PORT, and it’s the left-hand side of the ship too, you see.

Anyway, Kitty, take care and hopefully see you long before Christmas, knocking on Mrs B’s door laden with presents!

Much love,

Fen xxxx

A Dangerous Goodbye

Fen bit her bottom lip. She was onto something all right. Arthur had sent her a message from beyond the grave. There was more to his death than they were telling her. Would she ever find him?

England, 1944. On a clear autumn morning in late September, time stops for Fen Churche. Waiting on the scrubbed farmhouse table for her is a letter from her cherished Arthur Melville-Hare, a brave, blue-eyed captain who was shipped off to war. Through her tears, she knows what it means – she will never see her fiancé again.

As she reads his last letter, she realises something the War Office didn’t: Fen and Arthur shared a love of crosswords, and he’s left her clever clues to his disappearance.

Desperate to find out what happened to the love of her life, she sets off for France, travelling to his last posting: a quaint village, surrounded by vineyards. But darkness lies beneath the charming surface of this countryside town, and when the beloved priest and the son of a local wine maker are found dead, it’s clear that someone wants to keep wartime secrets buried.

Can Fen stay alive long enough to find out the truth?

A totally gripping story of war, mystery, espionage and murder. Fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Charles Todd and Rhys Bowen will absolutely adore this unputdownable World War Two murder mystery.

I’ve never been lucky enough to travel across the Atlantic, not on a ship such as the De Grasse at any rate (air travel just seems so much less glamorous!), but I was inspired by stories I’ve heard of those great journeys from older members of my family. Luckily none of them encountered murders on their voyages… as far as I know!

I hope you loved reading The Moonlit Murders, and if you did, I would be very grateful if you could write a review. I’d love to hear what you think, and it makes such a difference helping new readers to discover one of my books for the first time.

I love hearing from my readers – you can get in touch on my Facebook page, through Twitter, Instagram or my website.

Thanks,

Fliss Chester
