Two ghosts troubled Dr. Benjamin Bones. One he feared would never release him. Another he worried might slip away, however much he tightened his grip... So begins the long-awaited second book in Emma Jameson's wartime cozy mystery series. Return to Birdswing, a tiny Cornish village, in the bitter winter of 1939 and revisit old friends as they embark on more amateur sleuthing. Lady Juliet is vexed by the return of her ne'er-do-well husband, Ethan Bolivar, while Ben's obsession with the Fenton House ghost deepens. When a bloodless, naked corpse is discovered in a great house in the nearby village of Barking, Ben and Juliet uncover lies, theft, illicit affairs--not to mention a butler who might just be the one "whodunnit." Brimming with historical details and warm humor, Divorce Can Be Deadly has been called "consistently entertaining" and "worth the wait!"… (más)

Bones at the Manor House written by Emma Jameson. This title is Book #2 in the Dr. Benjamin Bones Mystery series.
“Two ghosts troubled Dr. Benjamin Bones. One he feared would never release him. Another, he worried might slip away, however much he tightened his grip.”
In Book #2 of this series, we return to Birdswing in Cornwall, in the bitter winter of 1939 and revisit old friends (Dr. Bones and Lady Juliet) as they embark on more amateur sleuthing.
Another good mystery by Ms. Jameson with interesting, eccentric characters, good locations, and cultural and historical ‘tidbits’ of the era. Witty and enjoyable. **** ( )

It's a historical cozy mystery! It's a spoof! It's a soap opera! It's a romance!
It's all of that and more!
Definitely character driven (and they certainly are!), and a lot of fun despite the corpse and, well, other things. Even if you haven't read the first in series (I did), I think that this does stand alone just fine. There are some really fun characters. sneaky plot twists, and even a mystifying red herring or three (but no spoilers!). Great cosy read!
Wonderful narration as always by voice actor Matthew Lloyd Davies. ( )

An enjoyable well-written cozy mystery with its likeable characters ( )

Series gains depth as the characters continue to evolve. The detective duo continues to develop their still rudimentary skills despite a serious disruption in their personal relationship. ( )

Another mystery for Dr. Benjamin Bones and the nearly, but not quite divorced, Lady Juliette Linton. Fenton House continues to provide a bit of ghostly intervention when a naked, bloodless body is found in a neighboring manor house. As a murder mystery this book is fairly predictable, but I enjoyed the continuing characters.

The author creates a credible historical context. Dr. Bones has no 21st century prescience in his medical knowledge and the villager’s social attitudes toward divorce and the woman’s place in society seem consistent for the late 1930’s. I liked that Juliette fights the prevailing stereotypes without seeming decades out of place with the times. The book is not about historical or contemporary social commentary, but there are some ongoing themes that make it more interesting. Dr. Bones, 5’8” and ‘bookish’ has some need to defend his masculinity; while Juliette, 6’1” and highly intelligent, is massively insecure in her feminine identity. Added to their individual insecurities, there’s the complicating presence of Juliette’s nearly-ex, Evan Bolivar, and Dr. Bone’s recently dead and ghostly wife, Penny. So, there’s a bit of a stumbling romance along with the amature detecting. A nice, easy-going read to pass the time. ( )
