A DELICIOUSLY QUIRKY COZY MYSTERY FULL OF TWISTS AND TURNS BY A BESTSELLING AUTHOR.
Meet Bea Abbot. Life in leafy Kensington should be all Georgian houses, beautiful parks and charming tea shops. But it turns out there are plenty of murders to solve for our amateur sleuth.
Attending a birthday celebration at the home of an old friend, Bea can’t help a shiver of foreboding when she notices they are thirteen at dinner. She’s not superstitious, but she has a bad feeling about the evening.
Suddenly there’s a loud bang — and the dining room curtain goes up in flames.
Pandemonium follows: the house is plunged into darkness, the host is rushed to hospital, the nanny breaks her leg. As Bea races through the smoke-filled rooms to find the survivors, she wonders if the fire was started deliberately . . . If so, who was the intended target?
In the days that follow, a number of the dinner party guests begin to die in seemingly accidental but very convenient ways — and Bea finds herself in the middle of a mystery which grows more dangerous by the minute.
A charming cozy murder mystery packed with wit and intrigue. Fans of Richard Osman, M.C. Beaton, the Reverend Richard Coles and Jane Adams will love this unputdownable mystery.
