Determined to protect her from this hidden danger, Fran finds herself digging into Edna's previous life, and an old love affair and family quarrel come to light. But by rattling the bones of the past, Fran has uncovered more than she bargained for....

"Period colour is nicely supplied...engrossing story looks like the start of a highly enjoyable series." (Scotsman)
Members Reviews:
Fran Varady is one of Granger's more interesting characters.
This is Ann Granger's seventh Fran Varady novel in the series, I purchased the initial books with this particular character when in London and enjoyed them so much I searched for the followup books in the series. These books and their characters are different than her more well known Meredith and Markby series' but just as enjoyable. Granger presents London from a view not often written about. Fran Varady, the main character, is a real spit fire and lots of fun, but down to earth. The supporting characters are well developed through the series and not ones that you might find in other novels. You really should read the series from the beginning , "Askin for Trouble" is the first book, so that you get the full impact of her characterizations.
Great writer
Ann Granger's books are always great
Always Engaging
Rattling the Bones is another great mystery of those who love English mysteries. All her books are well worth a read.
Another excellent novel in the Fran Varady series
I happened on this series and read all 7. Can't understand why they are so little known! Poor marketing? Publisher not interested? They have excellent plots, great characterisation, excellent and intelligent dialogue. Fran is an unusual and interesting character, so different from the usual heroine of crime novels. And they are funny in a wry way. You won't find Silence-of-the-Lambs-type weird serial killers, or extraordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, but just an honest look at flawed, greedy, heartless or nasty villains of a more ordinary sort. And ordinary nice people being decent. So for that reason, they are much more psychologically realistic than most modern crime novels.
The audio versions read by Kim Hicks are a treat. So treat yourself!
