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.
Bea knows perfectly well that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. But she can’t resist an invitation to tea at the Ritz, even if it comes with a side order of murder . . .
Bea’s old acquaintance CJ wants her help clearing his friend Jeremy’s name. An eccentric music teacher, Jeremy is accused of the murder of his pupil, Josie. Though the charge is quickly disproved, the damage is done. Jeremy has been sacked from his job, his wife has thrown him out and his reputation is in tatters.
Bea is grateful for the distraction. Although business is booming at the agency, she can’t help feeling something is wrong. The company is making more money than ever so why are her most loyal employees handing in their notice? Just what is the new manager, the ever-so-smooth-talking Ianthe, up to?
Later that night Jeremy suddenly lands on Bea’s doorstep. His flat has been broken into and his beloved piano smashed to smithereens — a stark warning or a close call?
If Jeremy didn’t kill Josie, then who did? Bea’s investigation leads to the discovery of a circle of crooks with links to high society. Jeremy isn’t their first victim, and if Bea doesn’t stop them, he may not be their last . . .
A charming cozy murder mystery packed with humour and intrigue.
Fans of Richard Osman, M.C. Beaton, Faith Martin, the Reverend Richard Coles, Ian Moore and Jane Adams will love this unputdownable mystery.
