Description
Connie Maxwell has a secret. Though broken in body, her spirit runs free. Dreamwalking might be useful if only she could control it. But it's one thing roaming the Cornish Coast and quite another witnessing a murder - especially when she can't influence the outcome.
Annie Hearn has absconded after the suspicious death of her neighbour, and the authorities are about to pounce. But in a county of people hell-bent on bringing her to justice, Connie alone believes in her innocence.
With time running out, a chance encounter brings evil to Connie's door. Nobody is who they seem, and Connie's background is an ever-changing mystery.
Who is Connie? And is saving Annie the reason for her burdensome gift?
A gripping Golden Age historical series perfect for those who like a touch of psychic suspense with their mysteries.

Person
Jacqueline Beard is a writer and genealogist living in Gloucestershire, with an East Anglian ancestry going back to the 1500s. She writes Victorian murder mysteries and is currently working on books in the Lawrence Harpham and the Constance Maxwell mystery series. Jacqueline's books are a rare mix of true crime and fiction inspired by old newspaper reports. When Jacqueline is not writing or researching "dead people," as her husband so charmingly puts it, she is walking in the glorious Cotswolds with her dog. Jacqueline enjoys technology and spends far too much time on her computer. She dislikes flying, dentists and balloons - especially red ones.
