{"product_id":"of-hoaxes-and-homicide-a-dear-miss-hermione-mystery","title":"Of Hoaxes and Homicide: A Dear Miss Hermione Mystery","description":"The second in the delightful Dear Miss Hermione mystery series from Anastasia Hastings―when you represent the best-loved Agony Aunt in Britain, fielding questions from both irate housekeepers and heartbroken mothers is par for the course...\n\n\"Dear Miss Hermione―what is a mother to do?\"\n\nSensible Violet Manville and her very ladylike half-sister Sephora are absolutely bored, thank you very much. Though neither of them would ever admit it aloud, they're missing the thrill of playing detective.\n\nSo when Violet receives a letter from \"A Heartbroken Mother\" sent to her alter-ego, the Agony Aunt known to the world only as Miss Hermione, her pulse can't help but quicken. The daughter in question has gotten caught up in a cult: the Hermetic Order of the Children of Aed. Rumors of human sacrifices, mystical doings, and a ghost in the ruined Alburn Abbey where the Children pray have gripped the public consciousness, helped along by a series of novels about the group, written by the mysterious Count Orlando, and clearly this girl has fallen prey.\n\nMiss Hermione’s investigation soon collides with very real life when Violet discovers a surprising connection to the cult. With the dashing-but-frustrating Eli Marsh turning up and a member of the Children poisoned, Violet and Sephora―along with their ever-trusty housekeeper Bunty―may have more intrigue than they can manage.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 125084858X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.125084858X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hastings, Anastasia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
