By: www.theinspiragroup.com The Reverend Bernard Paltoquet and Dr Robbie MacTavish, together with their mutual friend, medium and clairvoyant Dorothy Plunkett, are drawn into the lives of a family whose tragic story is traced back to violent events that took place back in the London of 1887. November (Nova) Jones, a pretty but troubled twenty-year- Against this backdrop enters an old lady looking for her roots, a quest that unites her with a cousin she never knew she had and a close friend she only meets a few months before that friend dies. Another important player in this story is a rather unsavoury character called Ted who is also searching for his roots, as well as for a grandchild he has never met. The story begins back in late Victorian London with the fortunes of two young prostitutes who share the house of a well-to-do toff, Edward Moreland, who goes around saving fallen women. The trouble is both these women have babies - one by his brother Charles, and the other by Edward himself. These complications unravel in a dramatic way which lead, eventually, to the denouement of the story in 1962. November Jones eventually learns why she is being possessed by a spirit in the big house in Wandsworth she shares with her boyfriend and two other couples, and how this links to the past history of the house and the eventual uncovering of events that took place there nearly a hundred years ago. Meanwhile Bernard Paltoquet dithers between the two women who wish to become part of his life and finally gets what he deserves... Titles in the Reverend Paltoquet Mystery Series are: The Bockhampton Road Murders Haunted Christmas The Possession of November Jones The Witches of Wandsworth So Long at the Fair The Man Who Was Death The Dark Side of the Mirror About the Author: Pat Herbert lives in London, England.
