The Deathly Portent
The Deathly Portent | Elizabeth Bailey
6 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Her charm and cajolery may fool the unwary. Unscrupulous and cunning, as dauntless as she is resolute, the incomparable "Lady Fan" is as ruthless as the killer she is tracking in... A violent murder has left the village of Witherley aghast. The locals are convinced that a witch doing the devil's work is to blame-a young woman believed to have second sight. The new vicar, Aidan, taking up the cudgels in her defence, fears the witch hunt is escalating out of his control. But help is at hand. The bright and perceptive Ottilia, once a lady's companion and now bride to Lord Francis Fanshawe, is drawn to Witherley by an insatiable curiosity. Ottilia rapidly uncovers a raft of suspects with grudges against the dead man, one of whom is determined to incriminate the "witch." And as foul play runs rampant, Ottilia must wade through the growing hysteria to unravel the tangle and point a finger at the one true menace...

Currently reading (tagged book is second in series...this third one is currently not in database). Loving this mystery series and excited to find that the fourth one is due out tomorrow (just pre-ordered for $2.99 on Kindle)! ❤️

Anyone know how to add a book to the Litsy database? I‘ve tried using the form from the FB link, but it didn‘t work for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Bookzombie I was going to say there is link, but I don‘t know. Tagging @TimSpalding in case there is a new one or an issue. 💕 6y
robinb @Bookzombie thanks for the help! 🤗 6y

I LOVE this series and hope there are many more to come (this is the second one, with third out in Nov.). The continuing adventures of Lady Fan, who began in book 1 as a curious and highly intelligent young widow/ladies companion but has now married into the aristocracy. Small village setting here for murders, wonderful cast of eccentric characters, and some great humor. Very nicely done! Loved this one even more than the first. 👍 4.2/5⭐️
