Assignment in Amsterdam (Kate Benedict #5)
Carrie Bedford
AND THIS TIME, IT'S EVERYONE!
It looks like a plum job for architect Kate Benedict—she’s been sent to Amsterdam to repurpose an ancient mansion, happily assigned to work with an old friend. Should have been a lark! But it's a catastrophe—her old friend’s going to die.
And so is the caretaker. And the owner. Not to mention the owner’s personal assistant.
Kate’s the only one who knows. Because she has a secret.
She’s just a normal Londoner except for one tiny thing—she sees auras that predict death. This is a first, though— never has she seen so many in such a small area. Based on past experience, everyone in the house—or even attached to it—is about to die.
(Probably Kate included, but she wouldn't know—the auras don't show in mirrors.)
The place could be haunted, of course. Author Bedford will give you goosebumps as voices speak in empty rooms, hidden passageways turn up, heavy objects fall, and always, always, Kate feels as if she’s being watched.
She’s as creeped out as the reader, but Kate knows perfectly well it isn't haunted—it conceals something. A crime perhaps. Certainly a secret—a valuable object perhaps… a cache of dead bodies. Or maybe… something she can't even imagine. Someone will kill and kill and kill again to keep the secret.
Have tea handy! It’s a shivery ride to the smashing solution.
Who will like it? Almost everyone who loves traditional British mysteries, from Agatha Christie, right through Tana French. American cozy readers will love her too, especially those who delight in a slight hint of the paranormal, like Barbara Michaels and her colleague Carolyn Hart (in her Bailey Ruth series.)
