From Windrush to Whodunit: A Murder for Miss Hortense with Mel Pennant

I’m excited to be joined on the show today by guest author, Mel Pennant. On this episode we’re going to talk about her book, A Murder for Miss Hortense. A retired nurse, fearless sleuth, and proud Jamaican émigré Miss Hortense is drawn back into the secrets of her British community when a man is found dead in a friend’s home, forcing her to confront a decades-old betrayal and an unsolved crime that still haunts her.
