Emma Betony is content to live out her remaining years in a home for decayed gentlewomen when she receives an urgent appeal for help from a former student. Grace Aram is running Makeways, a struggling boarding school for girls, newly located in a former nursing home in Dorset. But Grace isn t interested in Miss Betony s teaching skills she wants a trusted friend to help identify the culprit behind a series of troubling events, including the possible poisoning of one of the home s remaining patients. What Miss Betony finds is an overwhelming sense of fear on the part of Makeways inhabitants, and clues that lead her to the Great Ambrosio, a charismatic fortune-teller with more than one trick up his sleeve. First published in 1941, Fear and Miss Betony marks the final appearance of Chief Inspector Dan Pardoe but it is Miss Betony herself who fights through fear and solves the case.
