Lady Ingram is at a health spa regaining her health. Isn't she? If so, how does she end up dead in the ice house? Her (estranged) hubby is the main suspect, of course, so Charlotte steps in to find the real murderer. I loved her going undercover, and the scene where she and her 'brother' (the very sick, bedridden Sherlock) have to be seen at the same time is a hoot! As with the other books in the Lady Sherlock series, The Hollow of Fear, by Sherry Thomas, is full of evocative period details and good characters.

Caribbean Sunset with a Yellow Parrot, the fifth of the Belchester Chronicles, by Andrea Frazer has our senior sleuths heading to warmer climes for a school reunion, and the chance to invest in a winter retreat. Two of the party, on their honeymoon, are not amused by the change of plans that puts them on the boat with their employer! (And even less so when they discover the room she has booked for them has twin beds). To further confuse things, everyone in the reunion party has some sort of odd nickname from their past (fortunately, these are listed in the front of the book). As expected with this series there's murder, smuggling, deceit, and rum. Lots of rum.
