About This Book

Her visions stopped. The murders didn’t. Can she piece together the clues in time? Grief—stricken after Vera's death, Connie has left dreamwalking behind. But as World War II casts its shadow over England, secrets brew beneath the surface of sleepy Cornwall—and Crossley, the rogue occultist, has vanished into hiding. When the psychic division recruits Crossley as a double agent, Cora spirits Connie away to Cheltenham. What begins as a refuge quickly spirals into danger, thrusting Connie into a web of intrigue and an unexpected murder mystery. As Crossley resurfaces with plans to unleash his most audacious occult feat, Connie faces perilous choice. Can she unravel the truth behind the murder and stay one step ahead of Crossley's sinister designs? And what of the enigmatic figure who has suddenly returned to her life—friend or foe? The Cheltenham Torso is the spellbinding fourth installment in Jacqueline Beard's Constance Maxwell Dreamwalker Mysteries. This atmospheric story blends historical mystery with the enduring power of the unknown, set against the darkening backdrop of World War II Britain. ______________________________________________________ Praise for the Constance Maxwell Dreamwalker Mysteries: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very well written mystery with lots of plot twists, a bit of the supernatural and a very likeable heroine. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Seriously I just couldn't stop reading… ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I especially enjoyed Jacqueline's descriptive style of writing about the villages, beaches and cliffs which makes you feel as if you are actually there rather than just looking on. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The author took me back in time with a wonderfully crafted tale of murder. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ … you won’t want to stop reading… ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The writing is wonderful, the characters awesome, and the plot so exciting.
