Move Your Blooming Corpse

Agatha Christie meets 'My Fair Lady'! After a spring and summer marred by murder, Eliza Doolittle and Professor Henry Higgins hope to spend the autumn giving phonetics lessons to their London students. But fate - and a killer - have other plans as this intrepid duo discover that attending a country house party can be a deadly affair. First published in 2018, this is the fourth installment in the witty Edwardian era mystery series inspired by the characters of 'My Fair Lady' and George Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalion'. Eliza is not happy after Professor Henry Higgins buys a snazzy roadster, only to become injured in a motor car crash soon after. Forced to play nursemaid, Eliza is thrilled to accept an invitation to a country house party. But upon their arrival at Banfield Manor, Eliza is greeted by her sweetheart Freddy, arm in arm with a beautiful actress. Higgins is shocked to learn the woman who once stalked him is also attending the party. Things grow worse when spiritualist Madame Evangeline arrives and warns of impending danger. Her prediction comes true when someone is killed during the following day's shoot in the forest. Higgins and Eliza suspect it wasn't an accident, but murder. Every guest hides a dark secret that involved the dead man. But who hated him more? The French aviator, the American cinema actress, a lady novelist, the Austrian count, or a knighted explorer of the Amazon? And is Higgins the next target? As the day of the fox hunt draws near, it seems likely that more than the fox will die. Before that happens. Eliza and the Professor must discover who has a little bit of blood on their hands.
