Jemima Shore's First Case by Antonia Fraser Pdf

'The screams came again: by now they sounded quite blood-curdling to the girl alone in the small room - or was it that they were getting nearer?' From murders and ghostly visitors to devious plots and family feuds, Antonia Fraser's first collection of short stories is a feast of mingled delight and suspense. There are five Jemima Shore stories including the first ever Jemima Shore mystery in which the fifteen-year-old Jemima is confronted by blood-curdling screams and miraculous moving statues in the dead of night. Jemima is at her sparkling best as she solves the case of the Parr children in a remote corner of the Scottish Highlands and elegantly deals with a missing bride on a romantic Venetian honeymoon.

The tragic consequence of a neurotic young woman committing to a life of isolation and piety, the inquest concludes. But this young woman held unusual power over the convent - power she was planning to use.

A violent attack in the dead of night and another death convinces her that the convent is not the haven of peace it appears to be.
