Peril in the Alps

An isolated castle, ghosts, and murder. What else could Lady Caroline want from a trip to the Austrian Alps?

Spring, 1926

It's springtime at the Royal Society, and Uncle Albert and his cronies are in a flutter. The most exquisite insect has been spotted in Austria. What is a nature enthusiast to do, but forsake noble title and land, and decamp to the Austrian mountains in pursuit of a pair of diaphanous wings?

But when Lady Caroline and Uncle Albert, along with most of the Royal Society, arrive at a castle in the Alps, trouble begins. And the root cause of it all appears to be the Royal Society's newest member. A Miss Dorothy Barrows.

Mysterious accidents, unexplained sightings, dark secrets, and even murder all seem to lead back to Miss Barrows. And why is everyone interested in her trifling brooch?

Will Lady Caroline, with the help of an unlikely squad, solve the baffling puzzle before the castle's ghost claims its next victim?
