Murder in the Cards by Gins Cheyne was offered by Rachel's Random resources as a part pf the blog tour. And Today is my turn to post a review of the book.
Gina has worked as a physiotherapist, a pilot, freelance writer and a dog breeder.
As a child, Gina's parents hated travelling and never went further than Jersey. As a result she became travel-addicted and spent the year after university bumming around SE Asia, China and Australia, where she worked in a racing stables in Pinjarra, South of Perth. After getting stuck in black sand in the Ute one time too many (and getting a tractor and trailer caught in a tree) she was relegated to horse-riding work only. After her horse bolted down the sand, straining a fetlock and falling in the sea, she was further relegated to swimming the horses only in the pool. It was with some relief the race horse stables posted her off on the train into eastern Australia to work in a vineyard... after all what could go wrong there?
Since marrying the first time, she has lived and worked in many countries including Spain and the USA.For a few years Gina was a Wingwalking pilot, flying, amongst others, her 64 year old mother standing on the wing to raise money for a cancer charity. She was also a helicopter instructor and examiner and took part in the World Helicopter Championships in Russia and the USA.
She became a writer because her first love was always telling a good yarn!
Under the name Georgina Hunter-Jones she has written illustrated children's books such as The Twerple who had Too Many Brains, and Nola the Rhinocerous loves Mathematics.
She now lives in Sussex with her husband and dogs, one of who inspired the Biscuit and Pugwash Detective Series about naughty dogs who solve crimes.
The Mystery of the Lost Husbands is the first in the SeeMS Detective Agency series and Gina's first crime novel for adults.

When Brian Deliverer apparently dies in the middle of a bridge game, those around him are reminded of the notorious Mr. Bennett Murder in the 1920s, when a wife killed her husband for poor bidding and worse play during a game.
However, Brian Deliverer went on playing even after he died. Can a dead man play bridge ?
