*Blog Tour: Death at the Plague Museum by Lesley Kelly


*ARC gifted. Today I'm on the Blog Tour for Lesley Kelly's third book, Death At The Plague Museum in the Health of Strangers series.


The pandemic is spreading.

On Friday, three civil servants leading Virus policy hold a secret meeting at the Museum of Plagues and Pandemics. By Monday, two are dead and one is missing.

It’s up to Mona and Bernard of the Health Enforcement Team to find the missing official before panic hits the streets.

My thoughts?

It was so nice to be back in the world of Mona, Bernard, Maitland & Carole the members of the Health Enforcement Team. The story is fast paced and littered with humor and laugh out loud moments (Bernard here's looking at you!)

The Team are shown CCTV images of something tragic which happened at the Edinburgh Museum of Plagues & Pandemics and find out that someone high up in the Scottish Government team have missed their health check. They also need to find out why that high up meeting was held there rather than at the Scottish Government buildings.

The race is on for the team to find her. Meanwhile, Bernard has found out something about his friend Marcus which he's disturbed about and Mona is off on a blind date which doesn't turn out quite as expected..

Jacobsen, has let the cat out the bag about Mona and she's fuming. She's also trying to get in touch with the Prof whom we met previously. The business card he gave her has a cryptic message on it and she wants to find out what it means as it seems to be connected to Helen Sopel, who has missed her health check and others.

Maitland and Bernard visit the Edinburgh Museum of Plagues and Pandemics to speak to the manager but instead meet assistant Lucy. Bernard is pretty taken with Lucy and Maitland wastes no time in teasing him.

A parcel turns up at the HET Office which belongs to the Helen Sopel who's missed her health check and the contents confuse them. The box goes missing during the fake bomb threat and protest by the twittermob and Bernard leaves something in the office he shouldn't have. 

Mona meets the Professor and finds out exactly what "Follow the Orders of Mrs Hilda Millwood" means.

The second meeting at the museum doesn't go according to plan. Bernard steps up to the plate and does something SO out of character! As ever, a fast paced story laced with humour...and that ending..WOW! Roll on book #4.
