Curse of the Venturer - The Inexplicable Adventures of Miss Alice Lovelady, #7 - E-book - ePub

After the unfortunate destruction of a safe-house (and probably a village as well), high in the Snowdonia mountains, Sir Percival, Glenys, and I are in Rhyl, the Brighton of the North Wales coast. For the first time I can remember my bright pink hair is not a topic of conversation as Rhyl's inhabitants, both male and female, are undergoing a fad of sporting brightly coloured hair of their own. But underneath the sensuous skies and romantic gaslight of the town strange things are happening - people are disappearing and reappearing in daguerreotype images with a horrified look upon their faces.
Unfortunately this means my application to join the Rhyl Ladies Library - one of the many Associations within the town - is put on hold until I solve this most inexplicable mystery. With the help from the mysterious Esmerelda, and the delightful Penelope, I must survive strange and deadly places to discover the link between hair colour and the disappearances before the Men of the Cog arrive, or I shall never be allowed to join the Rhyl Ladies Library!I can only hope that the saying is true - what happens in Rhyl stays in Rhyl.
