I’m excited to be joined on the show today by guest author, Mel Pennant. On this episode we’re going to talk about her book, A Murder for Miss Hortense. A retired nurse, fearless sleuth, and proud Jamaican émigré Miss Hortense is drawn back into the secrets of her British community when a man is found dead in a friend’s home, forcing her to confront a decades-old betrayal and an unsolved crime that still haunts her.Paired with this episode:Mel: Wray and Nephew Jamaican RumEliza: Miraval RoseMel's Book:A Murder for Miss HortenseWhat Mel's is Reading:The House of Broken Bricks by Fiona WilliamsMr. Sidhu's Post Office by Amman BrarEvery Smile You Fake by Dorothy KoomsonThe Night Lagoon by Jo MoreyA House for Miss Pauline by Diana McCaulayThe Aftertaste by Daria LavelleFind Mel Pennant Online!Find links to Eliza's social media on her website and sign up for her newsletter!Eliza Knight Follow History, Books and Wine on Social Media!Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryBooksandWineInstagram: @HistoryBksWineSend us Fan MailSupport the show
