From Whose Bourne (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is a ghost story and a whodunit, and - having been written a long time ago - a charming period piece. There's no sex, no graphic violence, no profanity...just good writing, good manners, gentle humour, and many plot twists in a short novel, or novella. (Amazon)
