"Let us hope there will never be a need for me to get involved in murder again."
"Too right. You've had a lucky escape. Now all we have to worry about is who will win that baseball game with the Yanks."
Martin coughed. "And what, pray, is a baseball?"
Violet sighed. "You tell him. You've got more patience than I have."
"It's a game like rounders," Elizabeth said. "You hit the ball and run around a square to get home before the ball does."
Martin frowned. "I've never seen a ball run around a square before. Must be a special kind of ball."
"No, you silly old fool," Violet burst in. "The ball doesn't run around the square . . ."
Elizabeth sat back, content to listen to them bickering. Things were back to normal. Now she could pay attention to the repair bills, and the rents due, and the baseball game, and an occasional glass of sherry in the conservatory with Earl at her side. She had a lot to look forward to, and if she felt a pang of regret at the loss of excitement of a murder investigation, she refused to dwell on it. Knowing that she could bump into Earl Monroe at any given moment was all the excitement she needed.

The Pennyfoot hides many secrets and its downstairs staff keeps a tight lip, even when the Edwardian aristocrats are dallying with damsels in the boudoirs, or gambling in the card rooms hidden below the floorboards. Should now and then someone fall prey to a dastardly murderer, however, it is up to Cecily Sinclair to restore order before Scotland Yard steps in and shuts down her infamous seaside hotel. Eccentric characters, mysterious guests and downstairs staff shenanigans add to the merriment of your visit to the Pennyfoot Hotel.
Watch for this new series by Kate Kingsbury, written as Rebecca Kent:
THE BELLEHAVEN HOUSE MYSTERIES
It is the height of women's suffrage in Edwardian England, and Meredith Llewellyn, headmistress of Bellehaven House Finishing School, has her hands full trying to turn rebellious, over-priviliged tomboys into graceful and accomplished young ladies. Her task is decidedly complicated by the ghosts of murder victims who insist on her helping them bring their killers to justice. Watch the fun as Meredith does her best to keep her ghost-sleuthing a secret from her wayward charges, while trying to convince her fellow teachers that she's not insane.
