Featured : BRANDY SCHILLACE, The Dead Come to StayBrandy’s back with a sequel! Jo Jones can't catch a break. She'd hoped that trading her city life for the cozy, peaceful hills of North Yorkshire to inherit a crumbling family estate would finally be her chance for a "fresh start" and a new future. Instead, she's been thrust further into the past than she ever imagined possible. The estate property is littered with traces of ancestors that Jo never knew existed, including the mysterious woman depicted in a half-destroyed painting -- and also including Jo's late uncle, who may hold the key to her cryptic family history. Add to this the gossipy town politics of Abington that Jo's forced to navigate as a neurodivergent transplanted American. And that's not even getting to the murder yet. When the prickly town detective James MacAdams discovers a body in the moors with coincidental ties to Jo Jones, they're forced to team up on the case. The clues will lead them into the wealthiest locales of Yorkshire, from sparkling glass hotels to luxury property sites to elite country clubs. But below the glittering surfaces, Jo and MacAdams discover darker schemes brewing. Local teens and international refugees are disappearing left and right, each case somehow linked to a shady architectural firm -- which happened to employ the dead man from the moors.What began as an unusual murder case plunges Jo and MacAdams into the underground world of rare artefacts and antique trading... and the murderer may not be finished yet…Episode was recorded live October 24, 2025.Website: https://peculiarbookclub.com/Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/ixJJ2YVIP Membership: https://payhip.com/PeculiarBookClubYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@PeculiarBookClub/streamsBluesky: @peculiarbookclub.bsky.socialFacebook: facebook.com/groups/peculiarbooksclubInstagram: @thepeculiarbookclub
