description: “Beatrice Knight is as delightful as Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody…” “Her handy cane is like a Swiss Army Knife on steroids…” “Wonderfully different, quirky &amp; had me laughing out loud …” Having offered her firm and unequivocal resignation, Beatrice Knight is certain she is clear of her former employer, the Society for Paranormals, and is now free to proceed with her life and a wedding. It all seems quite simple, until the Society’s Director Prof Runal shows up at the train station, her cousin announces horrifying news and a ponytailed dwarf decides he needs her powers to eradicate all non-humanoid paranormals. At least one thing is certain: anything is manageable with a pot of tea and a fully loaded walking stick. Case 4 in “Society for Paranormals”: A series concerning dead husbands, African legends and the search for a perfect spot of tea. For those readers who are enamoured with “Pride &amp; Prejudice”, adore Amelia Peabody, and / or would appreciate a supernatural safari through colonial Kenya. New to the series?
