The Blurb On The Back:
Dear Q
In case they keep it from The Children - this is to inform you there has been A MURDER! What's more - I was the one that found him. Must meet. Cannot tell when I will be free to speak to you so try to check this place every hour. Will do my best to get here soon as I can.
N. P.
Nancy has a new job as a lady's maid, and is accompanying her new employer on a visit to the grand and mysterious Midwinter Manor. But things take a turn for the worse when Nancy discovers a dead body in the library. With a house full of strange guests, who could possibly be the murderer?
What secrets lurk in the walls of Midwinter Manor? Are all of the guests what they seem? Who does the dead body belong to?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The third in Julia Lee's NANCY PARKER SERIES for children aged 9+ (charmingly illustrated by Chloe Bonfield) is a twisty but at times confusing crime mystery with a bloated cast of characters such that it became difficult to keep track of who was who while the reveal was a bit of a cop out but I enjoyed Quentin's return and his obliviousness to his own faults, Nancy's tenacity and the way Lee uses the post-World War I period.
NANCY PARKER'S CHILLING CONCLUSIONS was released in the United Kingdom on 4th January 2018. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
