Jemima Shore's First Case

An atmospheric and gripping mystery set in an ancient manor house from the Jemima Shore series. Reissued for 2014.

An atmospheric and gripping collection of short stories from Lady Antonia Fraser, many of which feature Jemima Shore. Reissued with a new cover for 2014.

'The screams came again: by now they sounded quite blood-curdling to the girl alone in the small room - or was it that they were getting nearer?'

From murders and ghostly visitors to devious plots and family feuds, Antonia Fraser's first collection of short stories is a feast of mingled delight and suspense.

There are five Jemima Shore stories including the first ever Jemima Shore mystery in which the fifteen-year-old Jemima is confronted by blood-curdling screams and miraculous moving statues in the dead of night.

Jemima is at her sparkling best as she solves the case of the Parr children in a remote corner of the Scottish Highlands and elegantly deals with a missing bride on a romantic Venetian honeymoon.
