Who else could solve the mystery of the ghostly embroiderer of Delaford Park, but Elinor Ferrars, private detective?
Finalist in the Jane Austen Short Story Award. Appears in Dancing with Mr Darcy, published by Honno.

Mystery, on the whole, was something she profoundly disliked. It had uncomfortable associations with Gothic ruins and over-emotional young ladies in white gowns.
