Book 11 in the Whitstable Pearl Mysteries.
For almost two centuries, St
Alfred's Church in Whitstable, Kent, has held special significance in the lives
of its parishioners - including for private detective, Pearl Nolan, owner of
the Whitstable Pearl restaurant.
Pearl's son, Charlie, was christened in the church and her oyster fisherman
father, Tommy Nolan, is buried in the old churchyard. Now, St Alfred's is about
to play another part in Pearl's life as the setting for her wedding to
Canterbury police detective, DCI Mike McGuire.
But two fateful events are about to threaten this happy occasion - the
discovery of a body on hallowed ground and the return of a ghost from Pearl's
own past.
