Carpenter Whitney Whitaker and her cousin Buck are no strangers to murder. After all, they’ve encountered corpses on their properties before. But this is the first time they’d decided to take a chance on a property where two murders have already occurred. Most buildings on the former boarding school property have been repurposed for an upscale retirement community, but the developer had no use for the headmaster’s house given its violent history. The headmaster and his wife were killed there decades earlier, their deaths remaining a mystery to this day.
Still, it seems a shame to see the beautiful Victorian give way to decay or the wrecking ball, even if many claim the unsettled souls of the victims still wander its halls, seeking retribution and justice. Can Whitney and Buck exorcise the structure’s demons, solve the cold case, and give the building new life? Or will ghosts from the past seek to silence them forever?

“I love this series. I was given book 8 to read as an ARC and I enjoyed it so much I had to go back and r3ad the rest of the books. Diane Kelly has a great writing style and her stories and entertaining. I especially love that sawdust the cat gets occasional chapters. This book focuses on the rehab of an old private school and Diane throws in a bit of history of the area along the way which I find interesting. A quick, cute murder mystery. A must read.”
“Carpenter Whitney Whitaker and her cousin Buck tackle a Victorian mansion with a dark past, aiming to transform it into a boutique hotel. As Whitney delves into the unsolved murders of the former headmaster and his wife, she uncovers chilling secrets that put her in danger. With engaging characters, a gripping plot, and a different settings, this cozy mystery is a delightful blend of suspense and charm. The authors writing style in Dead Post Society is engaging blending humor, suspense, and vivid descriptions. She skillfully incorporates twists to keep readers guessing, while also weaving in historical elements and poetry quotes that add depth to the story. I found the story easy to read and understand and follow along as well.
Thanks netgally and to the author for allowing me to read this novel and give my honest review.
Rating 4 🌟”
“Whitney and her cousin, Buck, take on a rehab of an old Victorian where a murder/suicide took place decades before and was then just closed up. Soon her curiosity gets the better of her and she's investigating the cold case. Lots of red herrings keep the plot moving. An engaging series and this one with an old murder was an interesting addition. Thanks to netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.”
