The Deathly Dolls

<p>Miss Phoebe Astin of <em>The Economic Undertaker</em> has always spoken with spirits as they leave this life on their way to the next so a visit from a senior nurse asking to unburden herself was business as usual. But when the nurse's confession reveals she was frightened to death by a doll from her past Phoebe decides it is time to tell the man who has her heart Detective Harland Stone. Aided by her brothers Julius and Ambrose - or hindered as the case might be as they bury bodies and interfere in her potential relationship - Phoebe is challenged to find peace and justice for the dearly departed. For the Astin family being dead is no excuse for letting crime go unpunished.</p>
