The Convalescent Corpse

A story of Family, Rationing and Inconvenient Corpses. Life in 1918 has brought loss and grief and hardship to the three Fyttleton sisters. Helped only by their grandmother (a failed society belle and expert poacher) and hindered by a difficult suffragette mother, as well as an unruly chicken-stealing dog and a house full of paying guests, they now have to deal with the worrying news that their late - and unlamented - father may not be dead after all. And on top of that, there's a body in the ha-ha.
