Inhaltsangabe
Late October 1909, and the season of ghouls and things that go bump in the night has descended on the village of Littleton Cotterell.
Lady Hardcastle and her trusted lady’s maid, Florence, find themselves hosting a colorful cast of actors whose spooky moving picture, The Witch’s Downfall, is being shown to mark Halloween. But things take a macabre turn when the first night’s screening ends with a mysterious murder, and the second night with another.... One by one the actors turn up dead in ways that eerily echo their film.
With the police left scratching their heads, Lady Hardcastle calls upon her amateur sleuthing skills to launch an investigation, with Flo’s able assistance. Surrounded by suspects both human and supernatural, Lady Hardcastle must use a little trickery of her own to unmask the murderer.

Another great Lady Hardcastle mystery
I'm a fan of the Lady Hardcastle mystery series, so I had actually waited for this book.
Like the other sequels, it is funny, witty, and although it didn't take me quite till the end to guess whodunnit, it was still fascinating.
The Narrator (I listened to the audio book), Elizabeth Knowelden, is fantastic. Her narration absolutely enhances the book for me. I look forword to future books in the series (which will hopefully be written and narrated).
