A Lingering Shadow: An Arabella Stewart Historical Mystery
About this audiobook
Several months after arriving home from her service as a United States Army Signal Corps operator in the Great War, Arabella Stewart’s major goals are saving her family’s resort and boosting her hometown, both of which suffered during the war and flu pandemic. Opening day of the summer season begins with optimism but ends with a murdered guest.
Eager to solve the crime quickly and avoid negative publicity for the resort, Bella again volunteers to help Constable Jackson Hastings, her dead brother Matt’s best friend and former comrade-in-arms, investigate. Jax resists at first, but with his department shorthanded and his war wounds hampering him, he accepts her assistance. Finding the killer must be a primary concern, but so is Bella’s safety.
As Bella and Jax pursue answers, they confront lingering shadows over the suspects, the victim, the resort, the town, and themselves.
