Spring, 1909, and Lady Hardcastle, amateur sleuth and all-round eccentric, is enjoying a well-deserved rest. But a week after a trip to the cattle market, Spencer Caradine, a local farmer, turns up dead in the pub, face-down in his beef and mushroom pie. Once again, it is up to Lady Hardcastle and her maid, Florence, to solve the case.Armed with wit and whimsy, not to mention Florence's mean right hook, the pair set out to discover what really happened and why. Was it poison or just ill luck?As they delve further into their investigation, they encounter a theft where nothing is stolen, a séance with a troubled ghost and an ever-increasing number of Spencer's family and friends who might just have motive for murder. One thing's for sure: Lady Hardcastle has a mystery on her hands.Revised edition: Previously published as The Spirit is Willing, this edition of In The Market For Murder includes editorial revisions.

"<strong>I love Lady Hardcastle and Armstrong</strong><br/><br/>Not only are they good for solving murders and robberies, as seen in the first book. This time, there's a little extra that has them seeking answers from unexpected places. And Armstrong's unique background is more helpful than she'd have thought.<br/>Lady Hardcastle and her tiny servant have the best chemistry and it makes this series extremely enjoyable."
