Category - Suspects
Task - Mrs. Peacock – Read a book with a blue cover OR has any type of bird on the cover OR a protagonist who is a female servant of any kind (housekeeper, companion, governess, cook, maid, etc.).
Cheryl- I just landed or rolled Mrs. Peacock for 2nd time. I have read a book with blue cover so must read a book with a protagonist that is a femal servant. I have read 3 Mrs.. Jeffries’ books for this Clue game so just cannot do another. I am looking at a Duke’s Son by Clever. Do you have other ideas?
I haven't read these but my 'significant other' has found a short series based on Holmes' Mrs. Hudson that looks reasonable.Mrs. Hudson and the Spirits' Curse is the first of three.
There's an older set of books by Ann Granger with a companion as the protagonist - The Companion is the first one.There's a newer book that just came out - Death Below Stairs - that looks like it would work as well.
