A False Diamond
by Veronica Heley

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.

It takes a lot to rile Bea. Yet somehow, an imperious woman in a mink coat succeeds. Bursting into Bea’s office, she pushes a young lady before her. ‘Mrs Abbot? Right! We need your help!’

Sybil Holland insists that Bea investigates why her niece’s engagement ring now contains a false diamond, and not the very real one it originally encased.

The snobbish Sybil has always disapproved of her niece Dilys’s husband, Benton. Bea soon discovers that Sybil’s instincts are right. Benton warns Bea to keep her nose out of his private affairs. But Bea is never one to run from bullies, and she’s not about to start now.

Then Dilys is found unconscious in her bathroom with the word SORRY scrawled on the mirror. It looks like a suicide bid — but could something more sinister be going on . . . ?

A charming cozy murder mystery packed with humour and intrigue. Fans of Richard Osman, M.C. Beaton, the Reverend Richard Coles and Jane Adams will love this unputdownable mystery.
