The Burial Club

1864 Even though death is the greatest equaliser, only some can afford a luxurious send-off. Some can manage nothing but a hole in the ground, and some get only what they deserve. Marianne Walker is nearly twenty-three, with no suitors and a dislike for impractical skirts. She sees and feels things before they happen, just like her mother, but it's not always clear what her visions are trying to show her. She has to figure that out for herself. But now she is seeing bloodied hands, and, for the first time, Marianne is scared - her visions always come to pass. When one of the custodians of the local Friendly Society is found dead, the residents of Hazelbirch are in uproar amid rumours of fraud and dishonesty. With the help of the undertaker's sister, Marianne begins to realise that not all is as it should be with the society known by the townsfolk as The Burial Club. Marianne knows only she has been given all the clues to work out what is really going on and find out who has blood on their hands. But can she reveal everybody's secrets without sacrificing everyone she holds dear?
