Indian Summer (Mirabelle Bevan Mystery #7)

By Sara Sheridan
Indian Summer (Mirabelle Bevan Mystery #7) by Sara Sheridan digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Brighton,1957

Mirabelle Bevan can't resist a cry for help, be it the little girl at a seaside sanatorium who is getting bullied or the strange behaviour of Uma, the Indian nurse who is looking after her. Intrigued she soon finds herself drawn into a spider's web of connections between an upmarket brothel, local priest Father Grogan, a man's body washed up on Brighton beach and a missing nursing sister.

Attracted to handsome police doctor, Chris Williams, Mirabelle is determined to finally put her love affair with Jack Duggan behind her and recover from the betrayal of Superintendent Alan McGregor, but the police force in Brighton is undergoing a sea change that keeps leading her back to the sanatorium at the epicentre of a spate of brutal killings. And very soon it becomes apparent Mirabelle is in much more danger than she realises...

'With sharp blows delivered for gender and racial equality, Sheridan's story builds to a chilling climax' Daily Mail

“For Mirabelle Bevan the attentions of a handsome police doctor are welcome after her heartbreak at the betrayal by Inspector McGregor. The fact that she comes into contact with this doctor after she discovers a dead body are nothing. the body is that of a local priest and Mirabelle becomes suspicious at the actions of the nurses at a local convalescent home. When one nurse disappears and another kills herself Mirabelle has to find the links between organised crime, an upmarket brothel and the home for Tb sufferers. Set in Brighton in the 1950s this is another in an excellent series by Sheridan. I like the fact that Mirabelle is middle-aged woman with a bit of a past and Sheridan uses this to help explore taboo areas. In this the subjects of abortion and racial discrimination come to the fore as well as police corruption and the plot is tight and clever.”

“Another great addition to the Mirabelle Bevan series. Mirabelle investigates the murder of a priest and disappearance of a sister. Superintendent McGregor and Vesta also make a reappearance.”
