The French Folly (Justine French Mystery 2)
Myrtle Morse, Ruby LorenLike winning a house in a raffle and expecting it to be free of any skeletons in the closet.
Or in this case... beneath the floorboards.
When Justine French takes a tumble in her new house, she discovers that the original property owners are still in residence. Bones and a few shreds of clothing are all that remains of the couple who went missing thirty years ago. The police are happy to finally be able to close the missing persons case, but they aren’t as keen to solve the mystery of how and why the previous owners ended up beneath the floorboards.
Justine has a few ideas about that.
For starters, there’s her next-door neighbour who’s been blasting music in an effort to get her to move straight back out again. As an expert in psychology, Justine knows that anti-social behaviour can escalate quickly. For once, there’s a good reason to be curtain twitching to keep an eye on her neighbours.
After all, you never know when the music might morph into murder.
And Justine has no desire to become the next bones beneath her floor.
